Hey Andrew, can’t see any of the photo’s. Am i doing something wrong. All i can see in the post is square photobucket icon’s with “This image has been moved or deleted”.

I’d love to have a look at them. I was there just over a year ago and would love bring back some memories!
Cheers!

That one of the trail following you: It’s never easy to shoot through these perspex passenger windows, but your enlargement is enough to make it out as a Norwegian Air Shuttle.

Yup it was indeed – after a quick search to, it turned up as being LN-NOB – one of only two 737-800(w) in the fleet – the other being in a special livery.

Thanks to you all for the comments – much appreciated 🙂

Nice wee selection there, but WHAT … no barbary apes ?

Hey A330
These are some of the best shots I have seen from Gibraltar. I was there in 1977 on expedition with the RAF for 3 weeks – your photos have brought back some great memories. I flew civvie on a BA Trident – at the time it was one of the biggest airliners to land there. Having to keep out of Spanish airspace made for one of the best approaches I have ever had. Banking so steep you could look down the funnels of the ships. The landing I think you will know having probably experienced it. You don’t get another chance with the water at both ends.
Stunnig shots
Cheers
Stu

Superb shots there mate, i was in Gibraltar about 3 weeks ago for a couple of hours, went to the top of the rock, but not a thing on the aviation side of things…

Nice work

Regards
