Navy dentist Jerry Gardner (RN Tower Road clinic) sailed 175 (actually a Navy boat from St Angelo) and lavished much attention on her with gleaming mirror finish. He kept her at MGSC and constantly beat the Pongos. In retaliation he was disqualified for not wearing the correct "15" mark on the sail. Sour grapes or what !adminJun 09, 2019

I am conducting oral history interviews with British ex-servicemen/women and their families, who came to Malta after WWII. I was directed towards this fantastic website, and wondered if there was anybody who would like to speak to me about their experiences of being in Malta. By after WWII I mean any decade really! It would be great to have a variety of different decades if possible. For people who are interested my email address is sandra.blake@gov.mt. I would be happy to provide additional information on the project and be very grateful for any assistance you are able to give. Thank you and kind regards, Sandra Blake (More detail in comments below).2 commentsadminJul 05, 2017	Early 60s films of Malta488 viewsLinks to four films taken by the Stubbs family (no sound).

Think of Biggles, Famous Five, Jennings and Boys' Own all rolled together and set in Malta. Who was Peter Jackson? He must have known Verdala (it wasn't Peter Prictoe, I asked him). A search on www.bookfinder.com reveals plenty of copies available. (Thanks to Chris Barber for that info). Also on ebay from time to time. Much cheaper without a dustjacket.adminAug 18, 2016
