Ms Patricia Tanner from Wales has kindly donated her father's war medals to Fondazzjoni Wirt Artna for display at the Malta at War Museum, in Birgu. Ms Tanner's father was Royal Navy Stoker Edward Robert George Jackson who in August 1942 formed part of the Crew of the British aircraft carrier HMS Furious in Operation Pedestal. Shortly before the convoy's departure from Scapa Flow in Scotland, HMS Furious was tasked to undertake Operation Bellows to reinforce Malta with 38 Spitfires at the same time as Operation Pedestal. The medals were presented by Ms Tanner to Mr Mario Farrugia, Chairman of Fondazzjoni Wirt Artna in the presence of her husband Paul. The couple were later treated to a personal guide tour of the Malta Time-gun Museum in Valletta by Mario Farrugia.
