Gibraltar Photos II





1) Kathleen, with our ship in the background.
2) The airport runway goes across the peninsula at the northern end of Gibraltar where it borders with Spain. The highway crosses the airport runway, so they have to stop motor traffic whenever an airplanes takes off or lands.
3) This was the ceremony due to whatever military anniversary was taking place.

It was the 70th aniversary of establishment of the Royal Gibraltar Regiment, itself a sucessor to the Gibraltar Defence Force.
