A very good morning to the Spanish Civil Patrol, who have made my #FailureFriday mission easier this week by smacking into [checks notes] the runway lighting system at Gibraltar's airport.
What they thought they were doing on short finals remains a mystery, but the diplomatic protests will no doubt be nothing compared to the undiplomatic ones of their boss.
@DreadShips Fortunately it seems nobody was hurt but looking at the damage they were lucky the boat didn't sink on the spot.
It takes a certain sort of pilot to steer directly into two big flashing red lights. I suspect they will be asked some searching questions about their eyesight.
Certainly a good candidate for #FailureFriday
@X31Andy @DreadShips Should've gone to Specsavers
@DreadShips @cjwatson Did someone say Barnard Castle? Those pillars have powerful motors.
