Which is why we sat and played uckers remained at MPA fulfilling other important tasks on such days - the standby RADAR for the W Falkland sites was a particular pain.

Conversely, with an average wind we could lift off from W Falkland with a full ISO underneath at the same time as a Sea King lifted from North Arm (E Falkland, SW of the airfield) and be half-way through shutdown checks having deposited the load in the appropriate place before the SQ arrived in the hover at MPA.
