VH-KDK Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 This flight is from Malta across the bottom of Italy to Dubrovnik Perfect AS16 weather greets our flight a pleasant change from the cloudy conditions I have come across recently. 1. Not much to see at LMML Luqa so here is the harbour at Marsaxlokk 2. The islands of Malta and Gozo. 3. Soon crossing the Sicilian coast at Granelli 4. Ahead is Mount Etna which is sleeping today. 5. Over Etna with the Aeolian Islands in view which include the volcanos of Vulcano, Stromboli and Lipari. 6. The Straits of Messina which separate Sicily and mainland Italy. The 2 761 foot pylons that carried the power lines across the strait were the tallest in the world. They were replaced by a submarine cable in 1994 but have been preserved. 7.The Gulf of Sant'Euphemia 8.Looking back at the Gulf of Toranto. 9.Lago Arvo, created as a hydro electric project in the 1920s 10. Leaving Italy at Bari for the flight across the Adriatic to LDDU. 8 and 9 are out of sequence for some reason I cannot change them as the BBC codes are showing as pictures!

Jack Sawyer Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Another terrific tour Martyn, fascinating about the power lines. I've always wanted to visit Malta and go scuba diving off the coast for personal reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I did not have that much luck with the weather when I was in Italy some weeks ago. But I was not able to take pictures from outside the plan anyway, so no matter. Nice report, part 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful about diving around Malta Jack as the water is full of blind mullet, sewage treatment is not one of the things they are noted for.
