Two tales put together there WP. The Mt Kent incident was an 'empty' container picked up on Mt Kent, when the crew eventually put the load down in Stanley it was check-weighed and found to be approx 21 tonnes and full of building rubbish. The troops incident was (IIRC) Ghurka engineers who secreted themselves in a container unbeknown to the crew and subsequently got transported from Kelly's Garden to Campito across 'Bomb Alley'.
