Gibraltar 10-5-08 – Another Day Trip to Europe.

Yup, another day trip into Europe, again taking advantage of EasyJet’s low fares.

*WARNING – Big Piccie post!*

Started the morning at Gatwick for a 06:55 flight, which got away 10 mins late (flying on board G-TTOE).

Managed a few pics from the bridge, but the sun was shining right at me, causing some horrible reflections, so I only got away with two that were anygood, but even these have reflections. 🙁

Taking off ahead of us, under pretty dull skies.

Up and away at last over a pretty busy South Terminal!

Sharp turn out to the left, routing down towards Southampton (which in turn took us back alongside LGW, over Redhill and Dunsfold)

On aproach into Gibraltar.

Got a nice view of the Rock upon touchdown – sun was trying to poke through – it rained a little mid morning, but by the end of the day the sun was out in force!

Full runway use, with a quick turn at the end!
