Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Royal Air Force Ta Kali was a Royal Air Force fighter operations base located on the island of Malta, which started life in 1940 as a diversion airstrip for the main operating bases such as RAF Luqa. Other diversion airstrips similar in function to Ta Kali were located at RAF Hal Far and on Malta's second island of Gozo at Xewkija airfield. The base's name reflects an anglicised corruption of the correct Maltese spelling of Ta' Qali, other phonetic variants of the correct name also appear regularly.

Summary from Français / French Wikipedia (frwiki)

L'aérodrome Ta' Qali (Airfield Takali pour la RAF) est le premier terrain d'aviation construit à Malte par l'administration britannique, au début du XX^e siècle.
