Spain closes her airspace to British military jets close to Gibraltar: "Spain on Wednesday closed her airspace to British military jets in order to stop a training exercise close to Gibraltar, according to a British military spokesman.
El Mundo reports that six Tornado F3 planes were to take part in the exercise which eventually went ahead anyway as Morocco opened up her airspace for the jets.
The refusal from Madrid comes after several incidents between British and Spanish ships in the waters around the Rock over recent months.
The Spanish Foreign Ministry played down the decision, saying that Spain has never allowed British military planes to fly over its territory. The Ministry said that this is a ‘no news’, as it is part of the normal relations that Spain has with Britain in reference to Gibraltar."
