We were down there just pre covid - waiting for a flight back to Stanley from the northern islands - the plane arrived from MPL and two blokes got out and unloaded a plane load of kit. This was then ferried across to the next island - where the strip was "challenging" according to the pilot - in several goes. We lent a hand of course - once it was all done we had our trip to Stanley, dropping off one of the construction guys at MPL on the way back.

It makes me smile- people go on about the need for a basic aircraft without bells and whistles (bring back the C-47!) - and when someone builds one that is reasonably successful they complain they want something more sophisticated................
