Planes today?
November 14th, 2006Well, three out of the five BAS aircraft are in Stanley today (two of the Twin Otters are still flying down through Brazil at the moment) and there’s talk of the Dash-7 coming to Rothera this afternoon. The weather’s a bit marginal so we’re making hourly phonecalls to the Falklands to update the pilots as it develops. They’ll decide at some point this morning whether to come or not. The two Twin Otters are having their skis fitted and may or may not be with us tomorrow.
Apparently there’s 120kg or so of post that’s built up in the Stanley office, so there are a lot of people hoping that the mailbags will be here today!

Pity the poor postmistress when she has to sort it! How much is junkmail? Hope nobody’s is left behind in Stanley whilst the rest of you explode.

We’ve not had too much junk mail – although we did get an official looking letter from the debt-collection department at Birmingham Crown Court, addressed to a field assistant who wintered here a few years ago!
