....on my last (and it will be my last) trip down South, we had the pleasure of the Company of 80's pop legend Tony Hadley (ex-Spandau Ballet frontman) and gang. Made for an interesting few beers during unscheduled night stop ASI !!

If you are into the history of the conflict, some otherwise tedious days kicking round the "deathstar" can be made interesting by visits to Darwin, Goose Green, Bluff Cove, Mt Tumbledown etc (R&R Landrover and walking boots required) or Pebble Island (helicopter required!). If you go to Pebble, walk up the hill to the HMS Coventry memorial (well worth it). Around the airfield there, you will probably still find bits of Pucara, Mirage, Skyvan etc - that and the "H" Jones memorial at Goose Green I found pretty thought-provoking stuff.
