One of Air Malta's fleet of Boeing 720Bs. The photo shows AP-AMG, still in Pakistani marks but full Air Malta colour scheme before becoming 9H-AAM, on pushback at Heathrow. For devotees of colour schemes, a dark blue line runs from the cockpit through the cabin windows to the white Maltese cross on the fin; on either side of this is a red line the upper part of which is wider but stops at the Air Malta titles. The word Air is in red and Malta in blue. There is a small red/white flag behind the cockpit.
