    Yes Faith is indeed in the War Museum in Valetta where I saw her last year. I lived in Malta in the middle to late 60's with my parents as a Military brat for three years, when Faith was pretty much in tact with wings on. She no longer has those as her fuselage only dons a spot in the museum.
    The history surrounding WW2 in Malta has always fascinated me, and I know I only ever scratch the surafce each time I go.
    I was there in fact dedicating a new gravestone made for me by the CWWG Commission to a fallen 3 PARA soldier who died on the island in 1969. The graveyard was full of WW2 dead from all services.

    'Tonight my men and I have been through hell and back again, but the look on your faces when we let you out of the hall - we'd do it all again tomorrow.' Major Chris Keeble's words to Goose Green villagers on 29th May 1982 - 2 PARA
