The Malta Aviation Museum’s Hawker Hurricane Mk IIa Z3055 was recovered from the seabed off Wied iz-Zurrieq (Hamrija Bank) during the summer months of 1995.
It had been ditched there on the 4th of July 1941, by Sgt/Pilot Thomas Hackston following engine seizure.
The wreckage of the submerged aircraft had been discovered by scuba-diver David Schembri in 1993.
