Superb! Have only visited ‘The Rock’ once, but loved it! When in RAF met s/o stationed there in 1950s during Franco’s business: told me of the many fascinating ‘larks’ they used to get round this. Later, in London, my boss was a Gibraltarian, taught me a lot as foreign correspondent in Spanish. Tough but loyal, remain ever grateful to his memory. Met some Gibraltarians at a rallying point in Plymouth many years later - and ago ! - [ ye gods, old Chronos, f/o you sod!😛 ]… Great People! I will always say of the Gibraltarians they are a Great People and loyal to the bone! [ and I choke but am not ashamed…] Lesson for Brit politicians: Pray…NEVER, let old friends down! Britain - or if you insist Scotland (!) then England which has at least the magnificent examples of THREE GREAT PEOPLES who have stood by loyal to the bone and which far bigger neighbours have tried to bully into submission, into oblivion. Without any order of precedence they are: the People of Northern Ireland - loyalist and Protestant in their majority; the People of Gibraltar - Catholic in their majority and loyal to an nth degree, even to electoral majority percentage true to 100% that only elsewhere a totalitarian state would have to cheat the books to be ‘satisfied’; and the People of The Falkland Islands - faithful and in the temporary agony afeared of their loud-mouthed bullying and juggernaut Neighbour but heroically saved by Britain’s Iron Lady and to her credit elsewhere who was one of the very first to witness and encourage the nascent light of a very great Man one-time President of the USSR and of Russia Nicolas Gorbachev, and by British soldiers, sailors and airmen God Bless Them All! Any British Politician who lets any of these great People down save for their Will, should and shall be damned forever and his Party to boot!
Wow!! I didn’t realize that the anchor was aweigh at first.There was another ship crossing what appeared to be the ship island bound.I thought they had collided at first when the sudden noise of the anchor dropping. Those are huge keys!! No problem losing them i say.What was with the airplane crash at the very end?
Although some areas are still recognisable, Gibraltar has changed so much it's unbelievable, loved it....A Gibraltarian in love with my Rock.
Thanks for sharing - wonderful to see this in film rather than old photos. PS it was King George V not VI silver jubilee (1935).
Never seen any of this footage before, my parents where toddlers at the time, thank you very much!!
