Circled rock and excellent approach. Highly by the staff and passengers of the Queen Elizabeth. BZ

Dont be a cynic, Chris. I'm sure if I was sitting on the Queen Elizabeth sipping a g & t I'd be thrilled to see a big impressive aircraft like a C17 landing beside The Rock.

Presumably on runway 09 where all approaches are 'interesting'.

presumably they'll be popping off to their rooms in Rook's OM, complete with internal waterfalls from the burst pipes and squelchy carpets? Hopefully, that wreck of a building has now been closed? Luckily for us, we only used it for kipping in occasionally - always felt sorry for the RN JOs stuck in there on for a tour.
Sounds nice on your boat - can't they park it somewhere more scenic than Gib (Monaco?) - or are you all topping up your fags and gin supplies?
