Since the departure of the RAF and the closure of the air base, the location has been transformed into a recreational area. The area is small in scale but considered by some in Malta as an ideal place to go for a picnic and spend weekend ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
