Special thanks to Andrew Barker, Ryndam’s safety officer, for sending in this post and great photo.
The Ryndam looked immaculate as it was arriving at Valletta, Malta, on a beautiful morning, the day before the Maltese air show got underway. Rehearsing overhead was a 1942 Super Marine Spitfire, performing dramatic rolls and entering the harbor at navigation bridge height! — Andrew Barker
