On display at the aviation museum at the former airfield of Ta' Qali.

Lying in a bit of a secluded area in one of the exhibit hangars. I was slightly surprised to see a Dutch glider here, so far away from home. It was donated to the museum by its Dutch owner in 2013 and is the only civil sailplane to have flown on Malta. This was achieved through special permission during the Malta International airshow, when the aircraft was towed into the air. After the rope release, it performed a number of aerobatic manoeuvres before landing back at Luqa. Back in 2013, it still had its wings attached and was seen underneath the left wing of the DC-3 that is present in the same hall.
