Sorry everyone, the link to google earth view of the school has too many digits to fit here. Enter 'St Nicholas Rd, Cospicua, Malta' Good luck!

Me to Adrian, I was in Malta as a babe in 1950-52 and at Verdala in 1957-60 came home July 1960 at the age of 11.

Overlapped slightly with you both times, we left the second time in 59 just after I took the 11+. 2 three year tours, was your father Dockyard?

Was at Verdala 1953-55 and 1956-58. Any contemporaries out there? Would have been approaching 10 when I left.
