Moron this afternoon

Post by Lamboali » Wed Oct 18, 2023 7:29 pm

Nearly a full set at Moron this afternoon. Unfortunately the blue tailed DC and one other diverted to Lajes. Thankfully we had photographed everything before being hassled by base security police and then Guardia Civil

Very nice you lucky man

Don't want to be a poser but I only need one - 87-0294

Nice to see nonetheless

Hopefully now the Guardia civil have your details they leave you in peace.

Nice pics from a place we don't see many pics from. As for the Guardia Civil/base police. What a m*r*ns! ;-)

When I got jostled at Moron they were very civil and basically told me I had to be 300m from the fence. Depends where the photographs were shot from, if too close they get agitated.

The law in Spain is you need to be 200m from the fence and not shoot any buildings or installation’s. So no laws were broken even though the Guardia Civil was trying to tell the Spanish that the aircraft in the air were installations :@ :@

Don't worry about it. I can think of at least 10 people who don't need any :)

Some lovely shots, well worth the effort. I spotted outside many years ago and had the same issue but checked us out and then left. My wife spoke Spanish which may have helped.
