27/09/91 XS731 to Gibraltar for the air display. Supposed to be a static but a few displays pulled out at last minute so could we oblige? A few laps around the rock, fly past with landing lights on, fly past clean, fly past dirty was about all we could manage I think. RAF Falcons were in fine form and we 'promoted' an NCO in their number (lent him my F/L rank braid) so he could come back to the OM for post display festivities. A great night was subsequently had by all and to this day, when I think of Gib I start humming 'The Boxer' by Simon and Garfunkel - you had to be there! Happy days
