We are delighted to share some thrilling news for aviation enthusiasts and spectators alike, with the exciting confirmation of not one, but Three Royal Navy Avenger T.1 in static display!

The Avengers belong to the 750 Naval Air Squadron who back in 1959 were stationed at RNAS Hal Far, also known as HMS Falcon! Back then the squadron was part of the Fleet Air Arm’s Observer School, conducting Observer training with nine Percival Sea Prince T.1 flying classrooms. Its main task was providing basic training to officers before they moved on to specialist operational flying Units at various Naval Air Stations across the UK.

Nowadays, 750 NAS is based at RNAS Culdrose and still trains Observers, the specialists who navigate, operate communications systems and control the weaponry of the Navy’s Fleet Air Arm.

We are honoured to welcome back 750 NAS to our island, reminiscing memories of the squadron’s old ties with Malta!

Stay tuned for more updates and additional aircraft confirmations. For the latest news and announcements, visit our official website www.maltairshow.com and follow us on social media.

Following the format set in 2021, the Malta International Airshow returned this year with another eclectic mix of aircraft from across Europe and beyond. Organised by the Malta Aviation Society, the event featured static displays at Malta International Airport and flying displays off the coast of St Paul’s Bay in the North of the Island. It wasn’t all smooth running however with the second day of flying displays cancelled due to the wind and sea state. A full image gallery and review can be found HERE.
