Nice place, San Luis ('Sant Lluis' now). That's where Salas Pons wines used to be produced, but closed down about 25 years ago. A nice, unhurried place of life and quite a few expats lived nearby. I once had a girl friend who lived at nearby S'Algar - some 40+ years ago,

San Clemente ('Sant Climent' now) was rather quieter if you weren't too close to the Mahon - Cala'n Porter road and wasn't far from an almost secret beach at Binidali. I vaguely recall a very nice restaurant there too. But it must be a lot noisier now that the airport is rather busier than in my time. We lived near Villa Carlos, now known as Es Castell - but nowhere was that far from anywhere really.

Anyway, as delightful as Menorca is, that's enough about La Isla Blanca y Azul - this thread is about the late Phil Champniss, much admired by those who knew him or flew under his leadership and guidance. I hope that his latter days in Menorca were enjoyable!
