Many thanks Vincent. The war rooms is a place i planned to visit, I want to get some pictures of the plotting tables for our display. Many thanks for the other ideas, I'll be sure to see as many as I can. Just over a day before we fly to Malta, getting excited now!!
Don't know if this is too late ... but I thought you might like some reading for the plane penance ..... !! Eyewitness1940
Just to add, have just finished a book called The Grand Barrage, by Gunbuster. A fictional book but based on the events around AA defense during the siege of Malta. A very good read.
This might be of interest. http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-WWII-RA...39:1|66:4|65:12|240:1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
