Greetings, Happy New Year to all.
Remember Gibraltar? Loads of new housing being built at 4 Corners. Nice place to be (quirky - yes), fun Marinas, Big Lizzy visiting, make a nice base?

I think it's stll an RAF base but civilian operated. Officers Mess was well placed for the border and had its own private beach; wonder what it's used for nowadays?

Or Bruggen.
Spent a week there in Oct '86 on an RAFVR(T) Officer's visit; my bar bill came to £2.70; the Sqdn Ldr who I was with was charged just over 6 quid; we must've had a good time, pity I don't remember much.
There was a W/O with us; his Sgts Mess bar bill was 98p and he told us tales of being wheeled back to his accomodation in a supermarket trolley every night!
