Gibraltar is a lovely place.
I'm a spanish patriot and a loyal friend of my small neigbour, the rock.
Here in my country, people becomes friendly slowly with Gibraltar.
I hope a future full of good relations between all two countries.
Regards from Barcelone, Spain.
Never give up, llanitos! Keep Gibraltar como Dioh quiso que fuera!

My Dad was one of the Titan Crew who assisted with the rescue of the Fedra crew. They are all heros in my book....but naturally I am very proud of my Dad!!!

You're dead right. It was a frightening evening, force 10 and a swell like I've never seen. The Sea King had to set down as 3 hours hovering started to over heat the engines. Everybody pulled together to make this a happy ending. Cheers. Julian
