Peat fires were a regular occurrence in the Falklands, so the resident Chook was capable of carrying a 5t bucket and the crews did a familiarisation exercise on arrival. It was hardly onerous, but added a huge capability. However, the fact the Poms did it is probably the reason for the Australians not to I suppose; gotta love the hard way.
