Last of my Phandet stuff worth uploading at the moment, not much aviation content but stuff that might of interest or just bring back happy memories
:
More of the wreckage left behind on the airfield.
View from the main road looking down the hill towards Stanley harbour. One of the two Bluff Cove vessels is tied up to the right, the ship with the red funnel moored in the background is the "Rangatira"
The Rangatira again. Our accommodation for the first few weeks of Phandet when we weren't sleeping at the airfield (which was every other night). A.K.A. "HMS Smelly"
The Rangatira was subsequently replaced by this oil industry accommodation vessel, the "Coastel".......FWIW she was eventually ended up as a prison accommodation block moored on the East River in New York....saw her on a river cruise there a while back and was so gobsmacked I blurted out the fact that I used to live onboard..........didn't get bothered on the cruise after that.
