SIR
I SPENT MY TIME IN MALTA IN THE ROYAL NAVY,SERVED TIME AT ST.ANGELO AND HMS PHOENICIA IN 1952 TO 1957.
I HAVE BEEN AWAY FROM THE COUNTRY FOR THE LAST 45 YEARS,ON MY LAST VISIT TO MALTA,IN 2002.I DECIDED TO VISIT BOTH ST ANGELO,ANS HMS PHOENICIA,IT DISTURBED ME SO MUCH TO SEE THE STATE OF BOTH PLACES,WHEN I THINK OF THE TIME WE SPENT CLEANING ,SURELY SOMETHING MUST BE DONE TO CLEAN AND RENSTATE THE FORTHS TO THEIR ORIGINAL GLORY,HOPE ON MY NEXT VISIT TO OUR COUNTRY,CHANGES HAVE TAKEN PLACE.
J.SAMMUT
