Hi Notinpastyet,

What a shame to have an emergency on holiday.  I am glad that you remember the fireworks too.

The Maltese ones are so good that firework displays here are a damp squib by comparison.  I must say that I loved the cool of the evening best!  We were daft enough to go in June and it was too hot for me!

Hi Folks,I have found a number of reference to Mr Victor Wickman & his museum in Malta,which is in the village of Xgharia.He sounds a most knowledgable man & anyone going on holiday to Malta that has a Navy interest I feel sure his museum would be well worth visting.The Wickman Collection,"La Capitana" Dwardu Ellu street,Xgharia,near Zabbar,Malta.

Hello there!

I'm a historical researcher looking for any information on Commander Lieutenant Lord Hugh Beresford, who served on HMS Kelly when she sunk during the Battle of Crete.

I would be very happy to get hold of a copy of a crew list or a photograph of Lord Hugh with HMS Kelly's crew or on his own. I am also looking for any HMS Kelly's survivors who would be still alive.

I would be very grateful for your help!

Marianna
