Lying on, or near, the runway could cost you some pretty serious
bruising if you got caught up under the wheels or engine tail wind from
one of these :-)

It is indeed a funny place, Nathan; I’m not that keen on the apes, but that
shot of the stroll down through trees with the sea in view is rather good.
I’ve taken off from Gib without ATC clearance (in a Jaguar). This was a more
than normally serious offence given the relations with Spain and the constriction on
air traffic at the time (1981). And a colleague met his wife there while he was on
detachment to the RAF station there: he was lying in a stupor in the gutter of the
runway, she was a police officer investigating . . .

We spent last weekend in Gibraltar, my second visit there. A funny place with many
facets—a piece of England in southern Spain, an outpost of the Empire that once was, fish
& chips in the sunshine (and excellent ones, I might add), monkeys…I also discovered
that there is a strong Jewish presence, going back centuries. It is all here:
