Another outstanding performance by all parties in the Falklands recently.

Comp case on HMS Endurance, way down in Antarctica. Much scratching of heads, phone call to the fine gentlemen of the British Antarctic Survey who agreed straight away to the use of their Dash-7. Aircraft launched from the Falklands before dawn, flew to an airstrip in Antarctica where one of the Endurance Lynx was waiting with unfortunate customer. Dash-7 embarked him, returned to MPA, and less than 25 mins after Dash-7 touched down, the mighty Globespan 767 was airborne with last-minute extra passenger on board (having been held several hours for the purpose).

Good show all round, great to know that no effort will be spared for anyone, anywhere.
