Looking back at the airfield's glorious part in the Maltese aviation history, one will only remain sad at the present derelict state of Malta's first airstrip. Hal Far's runways, spoiled by a trench dug right through the tarmac, are used by car maniacs to test their engine's acceleration. The airfield, rich and unique in its glorious history, now rests in peace, proud of the honoured place it gained among the great airstrips of the British Services around the world. Taken from Avionex Socata TB-20 Trinidad (N123XX) |
