During WW2 there were 3 Gloster Gladiators which were given the names Faith, Hope and Charity. These three lone aircraft valiantly defended the island until Spits and Hurricanes arrived. I believe the remains of one of those Gladiators is in the Malta museum you mentioned.
That was a busy street (and busiest road was even worse). Vancouver streets must seem spacious and unused after Malta. And right at the end, near 39:58, is that car going straight into a No Entry street? But there's also an arrow as well as the No Entry sign.
And that flood channel was pretty cool. I'd have tried to stay down there exploring it simply because there'd be no traffic and no contradictory road signs. 🙂
This is probably a good time to say "thank you" for the Malta series and all the Italy rides of yours that I've done in recent weeks, since I found your Ischia ride. I usually avoid rides with jump cuts, narration or music but I've thoroughly enjoyed your channel, especially the Naples, Ischia and Rome regions. I've clocked up more than 50,000km on my exercise bike around Italy on YT in recent years (I could probably be a cab driver in Naples even though I've never actually been there) and yours have been some of my favourite rides, and become permanent fixtures on my playlists.
I also just want to leave this link to the Alec Guinness film 'Malta Story' in case you haven't seen it. Thanks again!

I've enjoyed your Malta series; interesting island. Hope your mother's recovery/rehab has gone well. You're a good son. Take care

BTW, I look forward to your next adventure abroad whenever and wherever that may be.
