    the Falkland Islands are not British. they are Certainly not Argentinian..they are occupied and owned by the Falkland Islanders. it just so happened that two lots of holiday makers arrived in1982 and as young lads do they started fighting. they all went home eventually and the falkland Islanders carried on as before.

    It's 'desert', not 'dessert' (sic). Dessert is what you eat after the main course of your meal. And no, it's not only British and American military personnel who live on the island. There's also a small community of civilians, drawn mainly from British Dependencies like Saint Helena.

    One or two errors there mate. The flightpath is all over sea between UK and Ascension. It's an 8.5 hr flight not 11. No surveillance radar here. The workforce is mostly civilians. It's 7.5 hrs to the Falklands which is about 1000 miles from the Antarctic Peninsula. Greetings from Ascension.

  • @martinconnelly1473

    I went by C130 Hercules both times, there and back. It was 15 hours each flight but we did have a refuelling stop in Dakar. There was a flight from the UK to the Falklands by C130 that went from the UK to Ascension via Dakar then on to the Falklands with air to air refuelling. When they reached the Falklands they had to turn round and return to Ascension due to the poor weather preventing a safe landing. That took a lot longer than your 11 hours and 7.5 hours.

    If you take a video on the way back, try and keep your camera still . Hose piping the camera spoils what you you are trying to show. The answer?, let the scene do the work majority of the time. Keep it still and try and make each scene last a little more than 6 seconds. Look forward to your return trip. Cheers.

    Most of the dishes are not radar, it is a NASA tracking and relay station. The airstrip is very long as it was an emergency landing strip for the Space Shuttle when it was in use, it was extended for that purpose. The wind is what makes it bearable most of the time. If you go up to the island's peak the temperature drops markedly, that is why some accommodation is on the slopes of the mountain, Two Boats for example. The airstrip is near the edge of the island, not in the middle.

    With an estimated cost of £1,000,000 per person it seems most unlikely. As you can see in this video it is mostly rock and rubble with no real quantity of soil and so no agriculture. You would have build all the infrastructure required for more people than are already there and ship in all the food and fuel needed as well as more personnel to run the place. There is no dock for large ships. It is a childish idea from ignorant members of the current government. The people who propose it should go there and spend six months enjoying the facilities before coming to a decision.
