Me and Angelo will explore the Royal Air Force Base / airfield , known as RAF Krendi Airfield, that housed its Operations, Administrative and Signals offices under ground during World War 2 situated in Qrendi Malta. The station was officially inaugurated in 1941 as a diversion airstrip for the main operating bases such as nearby R. A. F. Luqa. Other diversion airstrips similar in function to Krendi were located at R. A. F. Safi and on Malta's second island of Gozo. Later, in November 1942, the British began basing fighter squadrons at Krendi. These remained until late 1943. After the war, the airfield was used as a tracking station and vehicle park, before falling into disuse. Caution : This place is not a public and in order to visit you need a special permission from the San Niklaw Farm (79289641) who are currently managing the area. Special thanks to Angelo Bilocca who made the necessary arrangements to go over there, film it and share it with you all. Badge from RAF Heraldry Trust | RAF Heraldry Trust PLease like and subscribe
