As a Gibraltar resident I've been on quite a few go arounds especially in the days when it was not permitted to divert to Málaga.
In the days of GB Airways it was not unusual for two or three attempts before having to divert to Rabat or Faro.
One got used to the 'first timers' to Gib with the screaming and white knuckles. Would I be correct that sometimes after a go around or two that the reverse thrusters were deployed just as the landing gear touched the runway....or maybe a little before??
