Whether or not Musket 90's suggestion on the Dakar flights is correct (and it sounds perfectly reasonable to me) it certainly does appear that Spain continues to demonstrate antipathy to RAF flights to Gibraltar. There's currently an A400M (ZM407 if you want to take a look on FR) which left Karup in Denmark earlier this afternoon, flew across the Netherlands, Belgium and France before crossing the coast just east of Montpellier and flying to a point roughly halfway between Sardinia & Menorca and then making a sharp turn to the west (thus avoiding the Barcelona FIR) and is currently orbiting east of Gibraltar.
