Just to let people know that there is an excellent Aviation Museum in malta that is well worth a visit. It contains aircraft such as Supermarine Spitfire, Hawker Hurricane, DC3 Dakota and many other aircraft and items

The museum is located near the craft village at Ta'Qali close to Mdina.

St.Julians: Bus No.65
Valletta: Bus No.80
Bugibba: Bus No.86
Rabat: Bus No.80

The craft village and flight museum used to be mentioned in welcome meetings at hotels but has now been dropped from a lot of these welcome meetings, and as a result visitor numbers have dropped to the museum and also the craft village which is a shame as a lot of locals are employed there.

As well as a huge range of traditional and contemporary glassware, many types of craftware can be seen being made and sold here, including lace, pottery, silver filligree jewellery, ironwork, woodwork and leatherwork.

So if you are in Malta please go and take a look and support the local economy.
