Twin Beech FT996-811-HF 728 Squadron RNAS Hal Far Malta 48

An early post-war livery Twin Beech from Malta, where it was deployed as part of 728 Squadron, RNAS in 1948. Hal Far was one of three strategic air bases used by the military but was favoured for its easy access and as such was in use well into the 1960s. After the launch of the Twin Beech in a civilian Bristol Airways livery, it appears now in a military all-over silver finish with the RAF roundels featured proudly on the wings and fuselage. Its military numbering is printed in black. Additional details on this release include retractable main wheels and tail wheel, as well as a de-loop housing. It also features rear fuselage windows on both sides.
