A 1938 Tiger Moth biplane will be taking to the skies over Malta once restoration is completed by the Malta Aviation Museum. Its wings are currently being covered in canvas by a specialised company in the UK and the plane should return to the skies early next year.

The nimble Tiger Moth was used as a trainer by the Royal Air Force immediately before and during the early war years and was often the first experience of flying enjoyed by would-be pilots of Spitfire and Hurricane fighters.
