1st edition, 10 - 13 October 1969 The first edition attracted a total of seventeen entrants, all but two being British. Since then, British pilots have provided the bulk of entrants, and have also been declared overall winners in more than half of the first forty editions. This edition, however, would be won by a Danish entrant. Perhaps indicative of the relatively small number of entrants, the arrivals were all scheduled for the afternoon. This, and the ’70 edition, would be the only two rallies that would be held in October. From 1971 onwards, the Air Rally would be held in June/July. Also, 10th October was a Friday. To the best of my knowledge, this was one of two rally’s (the other being the 2009 one) were the arrival day would be a Friday. Amongst the participants, the two most interesting ones (especially by today’s standards), were a Rollason Condor (a tail-dragger) and a Piper Tri-Pacer PA-22-150. Also, except for the overall winner, I don’t have a complete list of the results. If anyone can assist in this matter, this will be appreciated. Thanks to Victor Pisani, who provided the original participation list.

2nd edition, 03 - 06 October 1970 The second edition was held at Luqa airport, rather than at Hal-Far, with the arrival times starting late morning at 10.10 GMT. Although the number of entrants remained the same as 1969, 17, British pilots this year amounted to slightly less than half, 8. 3 German, 2 Austrians, and single entries from Denmark, Luxembourg, Malta and a US-registered aircraft completed the list. The latter could have been either German- or Austrian-based. There were also two cancellations. Interesting aircraft seen during this rally were the Focke-Wulf/Piaggio P.149D and Klemm KL-107, both German registered. The former was a development of a two-seat Italian design, later manufactured under licence for a limited production run in Germany, whilst the Klemm design dates back to 1940 whose production came to a halt when the factory was bombed. Production re-commenced in 1955. The other three aircraft were all crewed by British pilots and were all tail-draggers, comprising the single-engined Auster J/1N and the twin-engined Sokol Super Aero and Dornier Do.28A-1. Another aircraft that stood out from the Pipers and Cessnas was the Morane Saulnier MS.880B Rallye Club, G-ASAU. Nine years later a similar example would be placed on the Maltese register as 9H-AAY. The RAF’s Red Arrows pilots were guests of honour at a barbecue dinner.

3rd edition, 26-29 June 1971. As from this year, the rally changed to the month of June, with the arrivals also starting arriving earlier in the day, the first rallyist, Mooney F-BNOB, being scheduled for 08.00 GMT. As usual, the overwhelming majority of entrants were from the UK, 24 out of a total of 37 entries. Germany was represented by four aircraft, France and Malta 3 each, Austria 2, Belgium 1. Judging from the name of the pilot, one of the Maltese entries, 9H-AAA, may in fact have been leased by a foreign pilot. The following unsigned report appeared in Malta Flypast Issue 7. The Third Malta International Air Rally was held at Hal Far Airfield between the 26 and 29 June 1971. Entrants came from six European countries, namely, United Kingdom, West Germany, France, Austria, Belgium and last but not least Malta. The number of entrants amounted to 37, but five of whom failed to arrive for various reasons. The First competition was the 'arrival competition' which was won by the par-ticipant taking the least time to arrive at the airfield from the 'Mike Lima Golf ¬the Gozo beacon. Other competitions were the 'concours d'elegance' and the 'ladies solo'. The first Malta International Air Rally was held between 10 and 13 October 1969. Although Hal Far had already been closed down for operations, it was still functional and was opened espe¬cially for this event. Members of the Organising Committee at that time were J.K. Arbuthnott (Chairman), R.A.S. Ames (Royal Aero Club), M. Archer, Cpt J.D.M. Wilson (Secretary), Wg Cmdr E.H. Coleman, R.C. Borg and AA Farrugia. The event was under the patronage of the Governor General of Malta, Sir Maurice Dorman, and was possible through the cooperation of Air Commodore CV Winn on the RAF's side and J. Muscat Drago and J. Pollacco from the Malta Government Tourist Board. Fourteen aircraft took part in the first edition, with a Danish crew, flying a Piper PA.23 (OY-BKI) placing first. All the other thirteen aircraft came from the United Kingdom. While the second edition was held at RAF Luqa, the third edition returned to the Hal Far venue. Austrian participant O. Sochor flying Cessna OE-DDW won the Arrival Competition. The Concours d'Elegance was won by UK entrant D. Surridge flying Piper Apache G-ATJP. Mrs J. Turner flying the Metasokol G¬-AVPU won the Ladies Solo Particpant Trophy. The overall winner was the Austrian Mr R Tichy flying Piper Twin Comanche OE-FBP. Cpt Paul Ripard became Chairman of the Malta Air Rally Committee in 1973, succeeded by Cpt George Kissaun in 1976. Webmaster’s note. In his book No. 203 Squadron – The Malta Years, Colin Pomeroy wrote that with one of the rallyists being none other than HRH Prince William of Gloucester, who flew Piper Cherokee G-AYPW, Shackletons from 203 squadron were tasked with providing a SAR sortie, in the event of his plane ditching in the Mediterranean.

1972 – Cancelled. The uncertainty caused by the deadlock between the Maltese and UK governments about the amount of money owed as rent for the use of military facilities on the island forced the organizing committee the cancel this years’ event. By the time the political issue was resolved in late March (1972), it was deemed that not enough time remained to re-start preparations, and the event remained cancelled.

4th edition, 17 – 20 June 1973. With 33 entrants, participation was down by 4 on the 1971 total. As usual, British pilots made a strong showing, with 18 attending. Belgian entrants were represented with a respectable 6 aircraft, Germany, Ireland and Malta fielded two aircraft each, and 1 each from France and Switzerland. Lastly, a US-registered entrant, almost certainly a European owned aircraft. As with the ’71 edition, 9H-AAA was not flown by the owner, but by a Mr. Roberts, a foreigner, or an ex-pat living on the island. Aircraft-wise, the most interesting – in the opinion of this writer – would have been the Dornier 28, Focke-Wulf/Piaggio P.149D, Marchetti SF.360, Socata GY-80-180 Horizon, and the most interesting one, a Thurston Teal 1A. The following list were taken from the official participation list, but no placings, other than the overall winner, were available. This list was kindly supplied by Mr. Victor Pisani.

5th edition, 22-25 June, 1974. 36 aircraft took part, registering an increase of two over the ’73 edition. And with 22 (approx 61%) being British, UK pilots once again maintained a strong rally presence. Maltese and Irish entries fell to one each, as did Belgian participation, down from six the previous year. French and German entries went up to 3 and four respectively, whilst Austrian pilots re-appeared in three aircraft after being absent for the 73 edition. This edition also saw seven disqualification, and one cancellation. The author considers the Bolkow 209 Monsun, Fournier RF4D and Wassmer 100 to have been the more interesting attendees. This list now includes participants names and disqualified aircraft in their own table.

6th edition, 22 – 25 June 1975. At 43 aircraft, this year saw an increase of seven aircraft over the previous year, with UK rallyists amounting to well over half at 67% (29 aircraft). This year marked the first time that aircraft from Italy and Switzerland participated. Whilst Swiss pilots would continue to participate in future editions (a Swiss pilot would go on to win the rally for three consecutive editions between 2005-2007), it has always intrigued this author as to why Italian pilots haven’t been more consistent in their participation, seeing they are our closest geographical neighbour. The relatively short distance not proving too much of a challenge, perhaps? Also making their first appearance were crews from Libya. Libyan pilots would also participate between 1976 and 1978. To the best of my knowledge, there has been no further participation by Libyan aircraft/crews since. As with the previous year, there were two disqualifications, both German pilots. Amongst the aircraft participating were Cessna 177 Cardinals, quite a rare type in those days. Another rare type was Dornier 28A G-ASUR, last seen during the 1973 event. It would participate again in future editions of the Rally. Participation list kindly supplied by Victor Pisani.

8th edition, 19 - 22 June 1977. With a total of 50 aircraft attending, this was one of the better editions. As usual, the overwhelming majority of entrants were British, 26 aircraft or 52%. Noteworthy are the six participants from Libya. The remainder was made up of 7 Germans, 5 Austrians, 3 Italians, and one each from Finland, France and Malta. A number of participants landed at Luqa from Hal-Far, rather than leaving the islands on the 22nd. These are indicated by an asterisk (*).

10th edition, 23-27 June, 1979 With the British Forces having left Malta earlier in the year on 31 March, and Hal-Far having been handed over to the Maltese Government in September 1978, a change in venue was inevitable. From 1979 onwards, Luqa Airport started hosting the International Air Rally of Malta. Certainly for the car-less enthusiast, Luqa was more attractive, as going to Hal-Far still meant a further 15-20 minute walk after the bus journey. As for the rally itself, 1979 was one of the better attended editions, with fifty-one entrants, with four cancellations, all British. Unfortunately, two aircraft that would have made this edition even more memorable, a 1940 Percival Proctor and a 1941 DH 82, failed to materialise. Each qualifying rallyist received a memento of the 10th anniversary Air Rally, presented by the organising committee of the International Air Rally of Malta.
