we used to fly in and out of there for school holidays when my father was stationed there in the late 60s. At the time the border with Spain was closed and planes had to make a weird manoeuvre to avoid Spanish airspace when taking off and landing.
There were hardly any cars on the road back then - nowhere to go beyond the airport when the border was closed - but a steady stream of RAF personnel cycling around in their uniforms on their big old-fashioned sit-up-and-beg boneshakers.
