I'm sure your not muddling things up as before I went down there in Nov 84, I am certain there was a 120 or 206 crew that did the full Port Stanley to ISK in one go. Think some politician was onboard.
Our boss was plugged in behind a Herc on the trip back to Ascension for 40 odd minutes, if I remember correctly. Had arms like Popeye afterwards.
That was the same trip that we landed 6 ft short on the port undercarriage at Port Stanley, and all to allow us to pull off into the pan, rather than going to the end and turning round!
The hot brakes and holes in the flaps put pay to that idea in any case, and we had the afternoon off.
Brilliant flying down there mind you, looking at all the places mentioned during the war.
