We have heard about railway crossing or bus crossing or even ship crossing under the bridges. But have u ever heard about Aeroplane crossing ... ?
Gibraltar is a unique place for the curious traveler. Take time to
explore the caves and tunnels especially those not meant for tourists!
The inside of the rock is an absolute labyrinth with secret internal
roads and tunnels four times longer than those on the surface. Military
presence and security in this otherwise deserted area is strong but
almost invisible.
During World War II, Gibraltar's value as a base was greatly increased by the construction of the airfield. Originally it was just an emergency landing base for the Navy, built in 1939 on the old race course at North Front. In order to handle larger aircraft, the runway was extended onto reclaimed ground, extending out into the bay. It is still run by the RAF but it used by several airlines serving Gibraltar.
See the picture where the vehicles wait for the aeroplane to cross the road.
