The list of DC-3s on this page was taken from the chapter “Airline Operations & Airliners in Malta 1946-1954” compiled by Carmel D’Amato and Mario Pace, and which appeared in the book Airliners in Malta, edited by David Spiteri Staines, published by the Malta Aviation Museum Foundation.
Only DC-3s have been listed, although various other aircraft were mentioned. The given is when they were first noted in Malta. It is not taken to mean that they didn’t visit on other occasions.
In an introductory paragraph, the authors wrote: “This research was carried out at the National Archives in Rabat. It should be noted that this is raw data as collected from the records of the Customs Department and is open to corrections and clarifications as regards operator names (duplication, etc) identification of aircraft types, etc.”
The aircraft were previously listed in order of registration, but have now been re-arranged by region/continent. With Malta being a British colony, it does not come as a surprise that, of the eighty-nine aircraft mentioned, 37, almost 42%, are British-registered, followed by 12 from South Africa. Other aircraft were for countries that also were British colonies (Hong Kong) or had just obtained their independence form Great Britain (India).
Contrary to what happened after Miaco set up shop in Malta in 1967, when the majority of DC-3s seen were US-registered, in the eight-year period covered, no American DC-3s were registered, although other US-registered aircraft did visit.
Surprisingly enough, despite so many surplus DC-3s available in the immediate post-war period, at least two DC-2s made an appearance. These are to be found at the beginning of the table. The remaining aircraft are listed by registration. The exact aircraft type is in bold type in the history column.
