RAF Gibraltar 9/1/21

Post by vulcanxl425 » Sat Jan 09, 2021 5:07 pm

Saturday arrival from Brize Norton A400M ZM407 c/s RRR 4510.
Very unusually it entered into Spanish airspace to west of Gibraltar heading inland a little before coasting out near Estepona and approaching airfield from the east.

From the official RAF Brize Norton Facebook page :-


The Royal Air Force are flying thousands of the life-saving Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccines to Gibraltar, where they will be delivered on behalf of the FCDO to Gibraltar’s front-line workers and most at-risk groups.


I presume this is why the Spanish allowed it to fly into their airspace.

It was also for weather avoidance as there were Thunderstorms in the area yesterday evening
