I remember seeing a photograph in, I think, "Aircraft Illustrated" of
some aircraft which had been scrapped by pushing them off a cliff at the
end of a runway in Malta. They could be seen lying in shallow water.
This looks like a shot taken during this operation. I think HF was the
code for Hal Far and it certainly looks as if it's been stripped. Also,
it seems to be a Royal Navy aircraft.
