It's SOP to divert to your nominated diversion airfield if you can't land at your destination, it's the same in the Falkland Islands as anywhere else. MPA is one of those airfields where the changeable Wx can easily catch you out, having your own Tanker gives you options but you've all got to land somewhere before the fuel runs out!
