Mmmmm ...

The oil issue is not new, but I still firmly believe that the exploration done 6-9 months before the FI invasion was more than coincidental. The rig found substantial reserves when drilling (with Argentine workers on the rig) and then left to work with us in the Bass Strait. After the Pacific crossing we flew to take off the transit crew (including Argentinians) near Eden, NSW, on the very day of the invasion. The silence on the find at the time was more telling than if it had been well publicised......
John ..... I remember that being talked about at the time too ..... but was not sure of where the info had come from .....
We (?) were flying to the, I think "Ocean Digger" at the time ... which rig you were going to I just can't remember .... fun and games at Welshpool tho ...
Long time ago ........
