No I don't, sorry.
To be honest I was not even aware there is a Facebook page for the Malta Aviation Museum.

Thank you. I have only visited this museum a couple of times. And to think that it is only a fifteen minute drive from home!
However, I have visited the RAF Musuem in Hendon a few times. But I did live in North London, between 1971 and 1999, so it was easy for me to get to.
If your dad served in the RAF during the war, you can be certain he did see some action, from what my parents used to relate to me.
If you do come over, do let me know. We must have a beer, or two, together.

My dad, who was a member of the Royal Malta Artillery, was on one of the anti-aircraft guns around the Grand Harbour in Valletta. He used to say that
the first air raids came from the Italians, but they flew so high that they were lucky if they hit land. However, in my dad's words, "when
the Germans came, we knew it because from our gun positions, we used to look down on them, as they attacked the ships and the shipyard in the
harbour". To give you an idea of what this means, the bastions around Valletta range from a height of about 125 feet (30 metres) to 175 feet (53
metres).
