Not sure if it is part of the exercise?

What is the reason for the restriction of British aircraft Steve?
Is it due to the Gibraltar (who owns) business?

Wow,
never knew it was that bad... i thought civil flights went direct down through France or via Biscay and didn't know they had to route through Portugal first.
Does that explain why we had to fly from the UK to Tenerife and Gran Canaria via down the coast of Portugal as well? Or is it only for Gibraltar inbound/outbound flights?

Never knew we were harassed....
Bit like Greece and Turkey (Both NATO members0 but on a lesser scale by the sounds of it.
