The Valletta Grand Prix Foundation has teamed up with the Malta Aviation Museum who will be flying their Tiger Moth over the GP circuit during the Mdina Grand Prix on October 11 and 12.

The Tiger Moth is the RAF's most well-known trainer aircraft that entered service in the early 1930s. It remained in service till the early 1950s after which it was sold to foreign countries and private individuals. Some 250 airworthy examples survived out of some 8,600 built.

The Aviation Museum acquired their Tiger Moth in autumn 2000 and restored it to an airworthy condition in 2009. It last flew in 2011.

Licensed display pilot Clive Denney will be performing the aerobatic displays during the lunch breaks of both days of the event.

Mr Denney was involved in the restoration of the Tiger Moth and its initial flights. He was also the Hurricane pilot in the 'Merlins Over Malta' project that saw a Spitfire and Hurricane fly to Malta from the UK for the 60th anniversary of the end of WW2.

The circuit, located in the valley between Mdina and Mtarfa will provide a beautiful backdrop for these aerobatic displays that will definitely delight the crowds.

The displays, which will last about 15 minutes, will be performed between 1 and 2pm.
