For some years I have been interested in the siege of Malta during World War Two my curiosity was first piqued when researching Spitfire schemes, and those fascinating makeshift liveries painted on Malta-bound aircraft proved too good to ignore. Recent family holiday to the island of Gozo afforded me the opportunity to visit the Malta Aviation Museum. The average sale for the period Jan – Dec 2014 was 12,005 print and digital copies monthly.
