That RAF crockery fragment dates to the pre-1953 period when princess Elizabeth was crowned queen. The dome-shaped crown displayed over the fragment belonged to King George VI's epoch. By contrast, Queen Elizabeth's royal cipher displayed an upper, heart-shaped contour topping the crown.

Really interestjng , thanks for the info

[@BaronEisenblut]

Indeed, the ceramicware is what remains of an RAF Mess plate. It was not uncommon for the service to dump surplus and thrash into the sea. Just around the corner from there was a major RAF base with Flying Boats. I'm referring to Kalafrana. My father's uncle served there as a Captain in the Royal Army Medical Corps during WWII. He would have eaten from such plates many a time over the years he was stationed there, before it got smashed and thrown away. It's actually probable he might have consumed a meal using that very plate at some point.

Thank you Anna

[@hectorgatt6911]

Spectacular vlog but dangerous...definitely not for me, but a beautiful area which I didn't know anything about, so thanks a lot and I will definitely try to visit with the kayak this summer. 👍

[@PierreFarrugia]

Thanks Hector , same here next visit will be with Kayak. Also getting to where I started the video and back to car we’re by far more dangerous as going up that dirt pile was very loose,m

[@marinacachia4532]

Looks very dangerous, but spectacular! Could not stop watching you!

[@PierreFarrugia]

Wow, thanks, I always try to reduce risks to minimum

[@urbexguyclement]

[@aventura-t]

Thank you Pierre for showing us this amazing cave. I have been in that area several times and never realized that there were steps carved in the rock. I will pay a visit to that cave in combination with a snorkeling around the Il-Mara that seems to have a nice snorkeling and is very scenic.

[@PierreFarrugia]

Yesterday someone told me that there was a dumping ground in WW2, let us know what you find

[@johnabela932]

'WOW 😲 !! "EDGE OF YOUR SEAT" STUFF PIERRE 🧗‍♂️ 🌊 😨 😲 . The area is so rugged and inhospitable yet so beautiful including those caves and crevices (amazing shot @ 15:53). I'm GLAD you made it back safely, as was your Sharon I'm sure 🤗 🙏 . THANKS PIERRE🧗‍♂️ 🎥 🏆👏 . Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ™

[@PierreFarrugia]

Thanks John appreciate

[@ernestbailey9194]

What a wonderful video, dangerous at times but you covered the cliff face very well. The colour of the sea near the cave was absolutely beautiful. Suggest keeping the camera fixed to your helmet,must be very awkward going down the steep cliffs just using one hand. Very Brave. So much to see on this small island, we will be visiting in September can't wait. Thank's agaon for the lovely video.🤑🤑🤐🤕😁

[@PierreFarrugia]

Hehe thank you, I think a goof idea and maybe we cross paths in sep

[@ernestbailey9194]

@@PierreFarrugia The only steep part we will be climbing is the stairs to our apartment in Valletta.😂😂 We will be walking in the 3 cities a lot this year, as we are a bit too old to be rushing and climbing. That is why I watch your videos, you do it for us. Keep up the nice work🤩

[@PierreFarrugia]

I live in Zabbar so close by, I am sure you will still enjoy

[@rosewiegers7284]

Pierre you are very special to find all these places which I never heard about it ,very interesting thanks for sharing !

Thanks Rose

[@johnembery7801]

Wow that looked a bit dangerous especially on your own, lovely views though and a fascinating cave also the old steps and path they carved all those years ago, amazing. Thankyou Pierre great video. 👍🙂

[@PierreFarrugia]

Thank you France

[@mariob0nnici145]

I LIKE ALL YOUR VIDEOS PIERRE....BUT WITH THIS ONE YOU MADE A GREAT JOB....I THINK IT WOULD BE LESS DANGEROUS IF YOU EXPLORED IT WITH YOUR KAYAK...AND FOR SURE WE CAN APPRICIATE THE FANTASTIC SCEANERY MORE FROM THE SEA... THANKS. AND KEEP UP YOUR GREAT JOB.

[@PierreFarrugia]

Thanks Mario, 100% agree and love the idea , Will do.

[@mariob0nnici145]

@@PierreFarrugia Thanks, Follow you always.

[@karmb]

😳wow man........not only an adventure, you risked yourself Pierre, but we sure appreciate your efforts. Believe that that area formed part of the Benghajsa Fort just near by and behind the IL-MARA point. Funny enough, and just 3000 meters to the east of this point, another well known DEL I MARA compliments similarly and has connections with more Victorian period (100 yr old) FORTS. Thanks bully 🤜🤛

[@PierreFarrugia]

Hehe ☺️

[@Lost_Awake]

Well done Pierre! If you trekked from West, it is easier. You explained to have come from an ultra steep area by side il-Mara. Got me in the mood and went today on my own.

[@PierreFarrugia]

How was it ? You enjoyed ?

[@Lost_Awake]

The coast is just too nice in that area. Pity the scraps whilst on the way to Ta Karlu. Sea was rather calm today like on your vlogged day. Went to Fisherman's cave for the first time as well afterwards, which actually is called Ghar Tentuxa. I had no rope and it was quite a precipice getting into it...very rarely I get a fearsome adrenaline but got it at that point :/ Ultimately it's fun exploring :D

[@PierreFarrugia]

Me next time I visit ghar Karlu will be by Kayak , about ghar Tentuxa you are right

[@Lost_Awake]

@@PierreFarrugia much more sea caves to see then...by kayak. You will surely enjoy it!!

[@PierreFarrugia]

Hopefully soon

[@benfran3243]

Oh, this is a great vlog featuring fantastic views about the amazing geology of our island. That place seems so virgin apart from some remnants from the British Royal Air Force damping. That cave is so beautiful with so much natural light entering from different outlets making it so unique and immensely interesting, well done. Thanks a lot for having a good challenge to do this fantastic vlog. At times it was a bit risky but you managed to do it very safely, and I think its not an adventure trek for everyone to do. Thanks again and a very well done.👍👍

[@PierreFarrugia]

Thanks Ben truly appreciate

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

I went there before covid and did not like it very much !! The ground is very loose on the way ..I found the biggest snake skin I have ever seen ...😱 well done nice adventre, The head cam came out great you should have used it on the other difficult parts, wow that water looks so beautiful

Thanks Steve , exactly , going up the ground was very loose near the top and was very dangerous. Also on top I saw a big black snake, was not happy ☺️

What about with Kayak from B bugia? I think much less dangerous and a beautiful perspective.
