Remember my trip to Gib from Strad very well. We didn't need the St Mawgan stopover so went direct to Porto then Gib. Coming back we went via Nice then airways up through France. Great weekend - visit to the casino on Saturday night and a trip round the caverns in the rock on Sunday. The border was closed at that time (1970) and we all went and had a laugh at the Fred Karno's army style of Spanish soldiers who came and performed a rag-tag ceremony at the frontier post every evening. Happy days. Amazing that those Dominies have only finally been withdrawn in the last year or so.
