Gib is a fantastic place - really loved it!!!

The Police RIB looks a serious piece of kit - I have been told a Flatacraft???

Just as well petrol is so cheap over there - 0.45p per litre!!!

Yep looks like a Flatacraft to me!

and .45p per litre really is cheap!

By the time the VAT @ 17.5% and the duty has been reclaimed @ almost 52p per litre then what's left put against tax (by most commercial users), the petrol in the UK seems quite cheap too. I am sure the Police can qualify as commercial users. Still I liked the apes on the rock, reminded me of a girl from college, oh how we liked to preen each other...

They also have a twin engined diesel 11m cabin Redbay, with a metal point on the bow for helping drug boats to stop ,or if they need to ram a drug boat

So I have read but I couldn't find it anywhere - and I looked. Maybe it was inside a shed or something. Seems like they have now kicked out all the drug running boats - apparently the Spanish were moaning again!!! Would love to have seen them - they were supposed to be quite impressive!!!

Actually its a 9.1 another reason for the hard nose, is to prevent a detube with the weight of two diesel engines being stuffed in a following sea pushed from behind
