Great thread!
Some detailed info there - in a great site about biplane pilots of WW2, by the way:
http://surfcity.kund.dalnet.se/malta.htm
The "Last Biplanes" Squadron Pack will include three cards for Gloster Sea Gladiator Mk.I N5519 "Charity", Gloster Sea Gladiator Mk.I N5520 "Faith" and Gloster Sea Gladiator Mk.I N5531 "Hope".
If I ever manage to make models for Falco and Gladiator I will for sure put one among them - repainting to transform it into the two others should be pretty easy.
By the way, my mother's cousin Luigi Armanino was shot down over Malta on a Mc.200 on the 9th of January 1941. Rescued by Englishmen, he was then POW. But he lost an arm to Maltese fishermen coming to save British crews, beating him hard to prevent him to climb their boat. He then became close friend in hospital with some of the pilots he fought.
