Sorry, I understand that, and I am aware of Bland Group's interests in the travel and hotel industry (in fact I did some work for them and they put me up in the rather excellent Rock Hotel which was way beyond what I could then have afforded!) but what I meant was that once BA got their claws into it, it was no longer really a Gibraltar Airline.
That said, you've pointed out an interesting bit of its history that I was not aware of.
I remember taking a photograph of that lovely sign on the runway where it crosses the road to La Linea : "Motor Vehicles must give way to Aircraft."
I have some photographs from earlier visits of graffiti reading "Franco is a fascist war criminal" with Spain in the background. A fascinating place, and a bit of an anachronism. I expect it has lost much of its character now.
