I thought this 43 year old view of Gibraltar I took in June 1970, might be of interest to those in the RAF and Navy who lived in the blocks of "Flats" overlooking the harbour.
The RAF were in the 7 block square at the right of the complex, Navy in the other blocks.
I was RAF and fortunate to have a flat on the third floor of the far block overlooking the harbour. To those who know, this was oppposite the RAF Air Sea Rescue launch base.
I have a feeling that the Spanish patrol ship we called "Smokey Joe" , reputed to be a wood burner, hence its nickname, is the ship some way off to the left of the runway end.
Also at the far end of the harbour jetty is either the SS Uganda or SS Navasa used for school education cruises
Has anyone a recent view they could post, to best show just how much this view has changed?
PS.
Mods , please move this if you think its not in the correct forum.
