TheEye is delighted to have such brave Armed Forces…especially after all that the One Eyed Son Of The Manse has done to them. So it was with tolerance that continuous take-off and landing at night operations were heard at RAF Gibraltar last night.

Ah, well, didn’t need to sleep anyway.

But it was great interest that this was noticed afterwards over at the every-splendid Croydonian. Take it away, Mr. C!

…..”Starting, naturally, with an opinion poll:

Should the IDF take out Iran’s nuclear facilities? 66% of Israeli Jews polled agree, 15% do not, and the rest do not know.

Conspiracy fans everywhere will be delighted to know that we are in on this one too:

“The Israel Air Force recently staged military exercises between Israel and the British colony of Gibraltar near southern Spain, the French magazine L’Express reported on Saturday.

The fact that the drills were held 3,800 kilometers away from Israel “confirms that the Israel Defense Forces is making concrete preparations” to attack Iran over its refusal to cooperate with the international community over its contentious nuclear program, according to L’Express”.

That the IDF is able to project force well beyond Israel’s immediate neighbourhood is well known, but sending a squadron of F-16s to the other end of the Med is a rather different proposition to securing overflight rights among some less than neighbourly neighbours. Perhaps An All Seeing Eye can tell me whether plane spotters have been out in force in his neck of the woods.“…..

Well, doncha just love a great big shiny coincidence, folks?
