Here we see Gloster Sea Gladiator Mark I N5520 on the ground at Malta, probably during its time with No.261 Squadron at Ta Kali. Before that the aircraft was part of the Fighter Flight, and was one of the aircraft that became known as 'Faith, Hope and Charity'. N5520 was presented to the people of Malta as 'Faith' in 1943 and is still on display on the island. The normal two bladed propeller of the Gladiator has been replaced with a three bladed Hamilton propeller from a damaged Bristol Blenheim.
