Earlier this month, His Excellency the Governor, Vice Admiral Sir David Steel KBE DL was hosted by RAF Gibraltar Station Commander, Wing Commander Nel Doherty at the top of  the Rock.  

A statement from British Forces Gibraltar follows below:

During the visit, His Excellency the Governor spent time at both Rock Gun and Spy  Glass Batteries, home to the RAF’s critical radar and communications equipment. He also  had the opportunity to see some of the most stunning views that Gibraltar has to offer as well  as experiencing the infamous drive to Rock Gun via Rock Gun Road! 

Following the visit, Wing Commander Doherty said, "It is always a pleasure to host His  Excellency the Governor and it was a fantastic opportunity to show him the equipment that is  so vital to day-to-day operations on the airfield. It is a real privilege to have access to Rock  Gun and Spy Glass, with their amazing history and wildlife, and I learn something new every  time I go up there. The drive to Rock Gun can be a bit challenging though, so I hope it  doesn't put HE off from visiting again!”
