Incredible! Local explorers have shared insane footage of their adventures through the Dingli underground transmitting station located underneath the Dingli Radar station – a landmark on the island.

Angelo Caruana and Pierre Farrugia explored the area which is not accessible to the general public. The area is managed by the Malta Air traffic Services, a government-owned company, the air navigation service provider for the Maltese islands and Malta’s FIR.

“This underground complex was excavated during 1941 to house the equipment of the first two radar systems in Malta,” they share. “Apart from many interesting parts of this underground station we visited the Generators Room which housed two Lister 20KVA diesel generators with a ventilation fan for each set and the exhaust pipe extending through the central tunnel onto the side of the cliff; a small cabin excavated into the rocks which was used by a Wireless Operator using Morse Code to pass information to the War Rooms in case a break down in landlines develop.” Woah!

What’s interesting is that there are also rumours that a tunnel exists between this area and the receiver's area which are located across the road. Maybe one day they’ll be uncovered to shed light on more of Malta’s history.
