There was a story involving an airliner not so long ago, I believe that one was taking off. I wonder if this is the same or a 2nd incident?
If this is the second, then it's criminally stupid behaviour, it's endangering life.

I think that bit was in reference to the previous incursion which were indeed the U.S. version of the Harrier (McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II I believe).
@ 6 Beat me to it.
Oct 06th, 2014 - 12:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@ 7 We can't expect the Sunday Express to be able to understand why they are NOT Eurofighters!
They have only been told I don't know how many times we don't have planes for our new carriers, yet here we are thinking the Spanish can miraculously fly them from their carrier.
I suspect they were Eurofighters as they only have four in flying order, the other few are grounded due to no money being available to operate them.
For training purposes the pilots have to sit in the dead cockpit going Shssss, SSSsss, followed by ARGHHH: an accurate scream replicating the crash and burn they may be lucky to experience due to no flying time since whenever.
The Spanish are as stupid as TMBOA, thankfully.
It is about time the Gibraltans were properly defended from these Spanish cretins.

@7, 9. Please desist from trying to confuse the issue. The aircraft flying from the Spanish carrier were, as 'inthegutter' made quite clear were Spanish EAVB Matador II. The Spanish call it the VA-2 Matador II. That airborne incursion took place in July 2013.
Oct 06th, 2014 - 03:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@11. Who writes the preamble? The article refers to 'Gibraltar airspace'. However, as Gibraltar is a UN trust territory overseen by the UK, and with no military defences of its own, I see little difficulty in considering it an extension of UK airspace. And Gibraltar International Airport is also known as RAF Gibraltar. It is a joint civil-military facility. Maybe, if there is another 'incursion', the spanish may be surprised. The Rapier missile is very effective. It has a speed of Mach 2.5. Somewhat faster than anything spanish.
Better go unearth ole' Iron Britches and threaten nuclear war over Gibraltar!! What is the UK going to do? attack Spain.......yet again the UK displaying arrogance over property that does not belong to them..yet again - displaced the local population and settled it with Brits, and then claimed 'rights to self determination' - whatever.

Oct 06th, 2014 - 04:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It was amusing to see that you copy my posts, now try to understand this:
“Do you really think Spain would risk one of these pilots causing a major problem for them such as hitting an aircraft on takeoff from Gib’s airport by flying anywhere near them, never mind at supersonic speeds?”
It turns out:
they were NOT Eurofighters but VSTOL planes and therefore unable to go supersonic in the conditions (mach1 depends on air pressure, altitude and air density and is therefore a variable mph number);
did the alleged flyby in 2013;
So my post is still correct: Spain may be stupid but they are frightened shitless to take on the UK in a fighting war.

“ displaced the local population and settled it with Brits, and then claimed 'rights to self determination' ”
Except that people who identify as British origin only make up ~25% of the population. Looking at the surnames of the current cabinet (Picardo, Garcia, Cortes, Sacramento, Licudi, Bossano, Costa, Balban, Linares, and Isola), not one is a British.
Muppet.

“Have to cling to some piece of toilet paper from the 1700's and dismiss ideas such 'decolonization' that has been publicly disputed for over fifty years now.”
Are you really this stupid? Decolonisation does not mean “give back to the nation that last owned it” [might I add that the UK has governed Gibraltar longer (~300 years) than Spain has (~250 years)]. Decolonisation means to give the current inhabitants the right to self-determination, which is exactly what the UK has done.
Spain has less right to Gibraltar than any nation in the America's has to its land.
Pathetic hypocrite.
I support Gibraltaians right to self determination. And the British right to support them.

Spanish imports from UK in 2013 14 billion GBP
Spanish exports to the UK in 2013 13 billion GBP
More than 13 million Britons visit Spain every year, generating 1 per cent of Spain’s GDP and the UK remains the largest foreign investor in Spain’s property market.
So it would seem Spain is more dependant on the UK

Oct 07th, 2014 - 03:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I'm not sure I see your point. Are you suggesting that Spain could/would block imports from the UK in order to blackmail us into giving them Gibraltar?
Firstly, the UK doesn't respond well to blackmail or bullying - if you can find an example where it did please do tell.
I also don't see how this would be legal given we are both EU members. Unless of course you are suggesting that Spain leave the EU, which would likely further cripple its economy.
Spain continues to act like a petulant child over something that happened 300 years ago. Gibraltar has been British longer than it was part of Spain.

Oct 07th, 2014 - 09:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0In truth it has already started, there are hardly any British staff working in the EU Commission now and although there is glee at the prospect of the UK leaving from many, this is tempered with the knowledge that the UK's contribution to the EU coffers is likely to have a hugely detrimental impact on the EU budget, which they haven't balanced for 19 years.
Also, they are in fear of widespread disillusionment with the EU project and others that did not join the Eurozone following the UK.
So Spain can play it's pathetic games but what they don't realise is that they are pushing us closer and closer to EU exit.
They day is fast approaching when I can finally say “actually i'm not European, i'm British”.

Oct 10th, 2014 - 12:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Generally speaking, those without jobs are less happy than those with jobs. But in an integrated EU the 'British jobs' are available to many more millions, not just to the British.
So, many Brits are without work - 'lazy' and on social support, or otherwise priced out of the job market by 'cheaper' East Europeans. This is the way the Market operates, as a larger entity.
Wrt Northern Ireland:
This was 'tribal'. Just like two tribes in the Amazon fighting over 'their' lands, with the Brasilian Government trying to keep them apart through the police/army, and alive through FUNAI.
The tribal parallels are quite similar.

Three problems with 1 common denominator: the populations concerned have all freely and overwhelmingly confirmed their current status. But what have democracy and human rights got to do with anything when latin sensibilities are involved?
Otherwise the case of Northern Ireland is slightly different from the other two in that the other claimant, the Irish Republic, is a country mature and democratic enough to have voted in a referendum to remove its irredentist claim from its constitution in favour of letting the people decide.
Perhaps one day Spain and Argentina will catch up, but nobody is holding their breath.

This should open all of your eyes:
The mayor of London has disclosed that “thousands” of potential terror suspects are being monitored every day in the British capital, providing a broad glimpse of the threat of homegrown Islamic extremism against America's staunchest ally.
Boris Johnson made the comments in an interview published in The Daily Telegraph Saturday, saying “In London we’re very very vigilant and very very concerned. Every day ... the security services are involved in thousands of operations.”
British intelligence officials believe that approximately 500 British citizens have traveled to the Middle East to join the Islamic State terror group, commonly known as ISIS. However, Johnson's comments suggest that the terror threat in the U.K. goes beyond radicals returning to Britain.
This is a serious problem. So much for a religion of peace.

They were more than happy to discuss the aircraft in their charge and their duties OTHER than “delicate missions” flown by the SR 71 out of Mildenhall and the TR1-B from Alconbury.
Forget aircraft, what was your pay grade ? Non contentious.

Sorry about that, but that's not what I meant when I said “I wanted to spread my maker's image around a bit” last Christmas.

she’s at it again,
And I feel I must repeat it again,
Spain will do and say what it wants, when it wants, and to whom it wants, until it is stopped,
Once again the impression it shows seems worst than the bite, and the British seem to give the impression that it does nothing to defend against these outrageous claims,
Just saying like.

Oct 14th, 2014 - 12:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0Great article - thanks for the link.
With respect, though, if I read it correctly, it seems to say that Britain IS doing something about Spain.
There appearz to be recognition from other UN parties and Brussels that Britain's complaints about Spain are real.
Britain has acted by calling Spain out. This has led others to look upon Spain as a 'loose cannon' whose private disputes will take precedence over all other critically important Council resolutions or actions.
Spain has lost credibility by her own actions, and Britain is doing their best to have them sidelined from anything important.
At the least, it's humiliating for them, and they are placed on the defensive.
That's how it looks from here.
Is there anything more to this story?
Troy US Air Farce did not respond to any of my questions. I wonder if he knows the color of the passes to get on a US base? They remain the same.

Clyde - sorry, too much information has already been put out there. I am quite surprised that you had access to that many people of varying ranks, must have been a while ago. That would place you in a time period where opsec wasn't as important and you are probably some vendor or UK contractor. You can look this one up. The Mexican Mafia in Ciudad Juarez regularly bribes the internet provider to produce both the ip address and the physical address and then takes a quick to the physical address to take care of business on anyone not posting what they like. Large commercial companies have internet bots that scour it in it's entirety for key words and are able to identify the user every day. People who ask me too many questions regarding my endeavor are usually turned in.

Go to any air show in the UK frequented by USAF aircraft and personnel...for instance Waddington and the RIAT at Fairford. Aircraft from the USAF are on the static displays along with their pilots and crews....including ground crews.
They are more than happy to discuss their aircraft, their bases and duties, this side of any official secrets. Some of the large transports are open to the public to look around. All the personnel have their name tags on the uniforms.
You are some different animal ? The Mexican Mafia will come and get you at a guarded USAF base because of what !!!!!!
You are getting more and more ridiculous in your statements.
Captain Poppy is in fear of his life because he could name the bases he worked at and his rank?

This US Air Farce is getting more and more ridiculous with every post. And sounding more and more familiar to one of his previous characters here.
Oct 14th, 2014 - 08:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What a total waste of space.
I challenged him early on and he soon stopped engaging with me once I pointed out I recognised his MO from previous posts under a different name.
Just don't bother yourselves with him!
He is a real bottom-feeder who only thrives by your attention.

The posting is going to get more bizarre and the characters more colorful (in their minds) as they slide closer to the abyss. I dread my next trip to the fatherland, but the exchange rate will be great......better already than my June trip.
