I visited Gib several times on holiday between 1981 and 1988; the first time a couple of hunters were parked on South Apron and at other times I saw Jaguars parked there.
When I was there in '86, there was an exercise with 8 Buccaneers operating from there.
One day a Nimrod turned up when I was at Princess Caroline's Battery; (overlooking the airfield) there was a huge bang (I thought for a moment the Spanish were shooting at him) as he crossed the road and another a few seconds later; he must have been a bit enthusiatic with wheel braking!(Don't know why; was there a reason for not using reverse thrust at Gib?)
