A nice little museum with great historical importance of times we should not forget. With a small collection of aircraft and other pieces in the collection, from WWII and times when the RAF were based in Malta. A small but fitting memorial to those that served. Malta and it's people are somewhat often overlooked in the significant role they played during the war, and the hardship that was forced upon them. Give the lady on the entrance some respect, and show an actual interest in the collection and you'll find her very friendly, knowledgeable and approachable. It was nice to find out that the museum stays in contact with people who have donated items to the collection. It you have an hour to spare and it's something that's of interest, it's worth the time to visit. There's also a small memorial garden, a nice place to reflect, albeit slightly hidden away.

What an absolute gem of a place if you're into history! A short walk round the corner from the Ta 'Qali craft village (but be aware of crossing the road by the small roundabout). The gentleman who greeted us was so friendly and welcoming. Three hangars with interesting displays and the aircraft aren't roped off so you can get a really good look around them. The 'cafe' is just three vending machines in a Nissan hut and unfortunately most of the drinks were either empty or out of order the day we visited but it was a nice little space to sit out of the blazing sun for half an hour. It is a working museum where they restore the aircraft and people are on hand to answer questions if you have any. So if you have an afternoon free you MUST visit this little marvel tucked away round the corner from the craft village.

This is a fantastic museum for all ages. The receptionist was lovely and we had come on a recommendation from a lovely lady who worked in the nearby craft village at olive wood. The museum has a mixed collection of planes engines helicopters and some old ground and service vehicles. Our two children 10 and 6 thoroughly enjoyed the experience and we're fascinated by the old planes and how basic some of them were. The museum houses a lot for its size and has some interesting restoration work going on. The kids enjoyed seeing the old equipment and uniforms and thoroughly enjoyed pretending to be pilots in the old cockpit. The place is accessible and tidy and we really enjoyed our visit. For.us we spent an 1.5hrs there but you could do longer. The shop was well priced too.

Three attenpts to finally reach the museum within one week. First we came and it was closed (during open hours). The next day we came again but the man at the desk was too old and didn't know how to use Visa Credit Card (despite it is written we can pay by card). The third day we came with cash with kids. The old man (another one who doesn't speak english) wanted me to pay for my 1 year old kid in a stray. It is clearly written on the website (photo bellow) that children pay from 3. But no, this old man decided HE is the law. Finally we entered and this visir definitely wasn't worth it. Such a poor collection (ok it is cheap), but so much time wasted for nothing...

I found my visit of interest as I enjoy military history, but I'm not sure how captivating it would be for a normal person. It's a little out of the way though near a bus stop (which isn't serviced very frequently I'm afraid). As you can see from the pictures, they have resources for less able/elderly people who might not wish to walk around, which is good. Toilets are on site and there is limited parking. It receives 4 stars because it's a little overpriced at €9 each for adults. The planes are not arranged in any meaningful way for the most part and many are in advanced stages of disrepair... So I'm not sure where those €9 each are going.

One of the main reasons why we booked our holiday to Malta. Reading books on the history of the airfield do not do justice, simply because they cannot replicate the ambience of the sheds and surrounding area. A very small aviation museum with limited displays but the ones they do have are magnificent. The small band of volunteers have done a great job presenting the history and bravery of those who served here. We travelled by public transport and found it easy to get to as the bus stopped right outside. Would advise checking timetables to ensure maximum time spent inside museum and minimum time waiting for a return bus.
