As 'anonymous' says the walled city in the background is Mdina - not Valletta. Consequently the airfield is definitely not Luqa but Ta' Qali (or RAF Ta' Kali).

As a many-time visitor to Ta Qali, that is most definitely Mdina in the background!

That city in the background is not Valletta but the former Capital Mdina. I can confirm this as I am Maltese.
