ReplyDeleteThough I was a little child, I still remember HMS London making her way out of Valletta, Grand Harbour. I was with my father watching her leaving the Breakwater with tears in my eyes.
ReplyDeleteWould like to thank all service men and their families who served in my country, Malta. God save the Queen and Bless you all.

ReplyDeleteI cried my heart out just like a little boy, when the British Forces left Malta on the 31st March 1979.
Thank you BFBS for all your very interesting programs.
I still miss you all till this very day!
May God Bless you all!
Long Live The Queen!!

I was in Malta with 41 Commando RM in the early 70s and Andrew Pastona would play my requests on his Sunday Family Favourites show during my 2 month UK course. He called it the Pete Pritchard Saga. Andrew became a regular visitor to my family. It would be good to know how he is.
