Get out to Pebble Island (where the hooligans first came ashore in '82) if you can, there were still plenty of bits of Pucara and Skyvan etc. scattered about the airfield when I was there last about 6 years ago. The HMS Coventry memorial there is also worth a visit.

When I was there the Brintel S61's were doing R&R trips there at the weekends.There's a nice Hotel/Guest House on the Island if you want to nightstop and I think the FIGAS Islanders call in there aswell (in the S61, it was about a 1hr transit from MPA IIRC, with great views).

Also, places like Goose Green, Bluff Cove, Mt. Tumbledown (as well as the metropolis of Stanley of course) are all fairly "easily" driveable from MPA.
