Housed in the original hangars of the former RAF Ta' Qali airfield, the Malta Aviation Museum preserves the island's rich aviation history. Visitors can explore a collection of restored aircraft, including a Hawker Hurricane and a Supermarine Spitfire that flew during World War II. The museum also features engines, uniforms, and memorabilia from military and civilian aviation. Interactive exhibits and detailed panels explain the role of Malta as an aircraft carrier during the war. It's a compact but fascinating stop for history buffs.
