The Army helps the RAF on Maltas Airfields. The Army is giving the Royal Air Force a helping
hand on Matlas aerodromes. The scheme has proved such a great success that soldiers are not only doing repair works, building dispersal pens and odd jobs, but are now executing jobs of more technical nature. They assist in refuelling and reloading Spitfires, getting them into the air again in record time, also in bombing up and servicing Wellingtons.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Army helps the RAF on Malta's Airfields" we witness a remarkable collaboration between two branches of the British armed forces during World War II. The Royal Air Force (RAF) receives invaluable assistance from the Army, as soldiers lend their expertise to ensure swift operations at Malta's aerodromes. This joint effort has proven immensely successful, with soldiers not only undertaking repair works and constructing dispersal pens but also taking on more technical tasks. Their involvement extends to refuelling and reloading Spitfires, enabling these iconic aircraft to take flight again in record time. Additionally, they play an instrumental role in bombing up and servicing Wellingtons, further bolstering the RAF's capabilities. The photograph captures a pivotal moment amidst this partnership: soldiers diligently loading and assembling belts of cartridges for Spitfire guns. Their focused expressions reflect their commitment to arming these fighter planes efficiently so that they can effectively defend against enemy attacks. Taken in June 1942 within the Mediterranean theater of war, this image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by both servicemen and women during this tumultuous period in history. It showcases not only their unwavering dedication but also highlights how different branches of the military worked together seamlessly towards a common goal – ensuring victory over adversity. This evocative snapshot from Memory Lane Prints transports us back to an era defined by conflict while honoring those who selflessly served their country with bravery and resilience.
