RAF Kalafrana was a seaplane operations centre on the southernmost tip of Malta between 1917 and 1946 when it was transferred to the Royal Navy. It played an important role in both world wars, starting as a base for anti-submarine and anti-piracy operations, its role being expanded to include Air Sea Rescue (ASR) operations as aircraft usage and accident rates increased in the inter-war years.

- La base d'hydravions de Kalafrana est créée en 1917 à Malte, et passe sous la responsabilité de la RAF, la Royal Air Force, le 1er avril 1918. Les hydravions participent à la lutte anti-sous-marine en Méditerranée centrale. Dans l'entre-deux guerres, les activités de la base sont étendues aux sauvetages air-mer. En 1946, à la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la base est transférée à la Royal Navy qui l'utilise comme base d'entretien du matériel jusqu'à sa fermeture en 1979. Le site est ensuite utilisé pour l'implantation du Malta Freeport. (fr)
