Paul Gill sent me the 2 photos to the left with this message....

My father Reg Gill served in the RAMC as a radiographer on Malta with the 45th General Hospital from July 1941 to March 1944.
He had access to some film. I include 2 photos. One of the sergeant's mess and one of their barman. Mr Micallef was a former KOMR sergeant and very much liked by Reg.

Unbelievably he cooked a meal for 5, a dish of curried vulture at a time of desperate food shortage! The bird broke its wing in the slip stream of a spitfire and fell into the sea from which it was immediately recovered.

Reg believes he would have passed this info onto his children and would be thrilled if someone could confirm this if only for the sake of the doubters at home!
