aviation archaeology (hereafter, UAA) from the Second World War in Malta. Such an undertaking would encounter a number of challenges, as has been shown by the work of Rogers on (largely terrestrial) aircraft crashes in Malta from 1940-42 (Rogers 2000b). More specifically, claims for enemy losses by the pilot or pilots responsible are not always reliable due to the distracting circumstances in which they occur (Wessex Archaeology 2008, 27) and aircraft can also be misidentified or not identified at all (Rogers 2000b). If an aircraft did crash, determining its precise location in wartime in a featureless seascape with few reference markers was problematic, with eye witness statements often differing widely (Rogers 2000b).
