MALLORCA TODAY - Snub to Puerto Pollensa military base celebration
Representatives of the PSM Mallorcan socialists and the Esquerra Republicana at Pollensa town hall are to reject an invitation to attend the celebration on Monday (20 February) to mark the 75th anniversary of Puerto Pollensa's military base. The parties object to the continued use of the base by military personnel only, there having been repeated calls for it to be opened up to civilians. The base also operates as a holiday centre for military personnel from Spain and NATO countries.

I have been on holiday at the Illa D'or Hotel along Pine Walk at Perto Pollensa and have enjoyed the flights, circuits and bumps by the sea planes of the military base, out in the bay. What sort of planes are they?
Mike, They are Canadair fire-fighting planes made by the Bombardier company. There is a sculpture on the roundabout as you enter Puerto Pollensa which is of a Canadair.
