The final act. The Super Constellation, marked with false registration 5T-TAF, had arrived in Malta in February 1968 and was impounded by the authorities. Sold by auction in 1972, it was transferred to the nearby village of Kirkop where it served for many years as the "Super Constellation Bar & Restaurant". Following many years of disuse, it was destroyed by arsonists on 30 January 1997. This photo is copyright © John Visanich, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
