Blue Grotto Pillbox


On a recent visit to Malta, Paul Wells spotted this camouflage pillbox close to the famous Blue Grotto. Unfortunately, Paul was only able to get a distant photograph of the structure but he says it appears to be in good condition and in no danger of destruction.

Obviously someone thought the idea of camouflaging pillboxes back home in ‘Blighty’ could be used to good effect elsewhere in the Empire!

I bet this example is pretty difficult to see from a distance.
