Ibiza Beach Landing 1968
A friend recently told me of her first holiday trip to Ibiza in 1968, by Caravelle from London (She thought LHR) to Barcelona and then by "small noisy" aeroplane which flew low and made a beach landing on Ibiza which she said was the only way to fly there at the time.
I was a bit sceptical but she was absolutely insistent about those details, (they're pretty specific and not the sort one would be likely to get wrong) and that it was a sand strip right on the beach right next to the sea.
Wiki says Ibiza airport opened in 1958 so I'm rather puzzled.
Anyone able to shed light on this, on that beach strip and perhaps the aircraft used?
Or maybe it wasn't Ibiza, Menorca or some other island perhaps?
Ideas?
