My father was stationed in Gibraltar during the war. He was a sheet metal worker in the REME (the Army engineers), and during his stay made a silver chalice/vase for the garrison church. When I visited the church I would have liked to have seen it, but I couldn't and there was no-one around to ask.
Gibraltar is a strange place - quaintly British with red phone boxes, letter boxes, and all the shops there that you see in this country: M&S; W H Smith, as well as traditional English pubs.
We were there on a Sunday, so went to a pub for the traditional Sunday roast, apple pie and custard and a pint or two of London Pride ale. :)
We had a day out in Gibraltar, with a pub lunch and a clear view across to north Africa. Couldn't decide if I liked the place. Great views from up on the rock, but we were warned those barbary macaques are bad buggers and not to be messed with.
Have they sorted the runway yet? What they had was mental, but there were plans to run the road under the runway iirc.
Was poorly last couple of days so didn’t get much sightseeing done. Few random shots I did get.

Did you go in the caves, Roy?
Unfortunately not Martin.Quote:
