Have been doing a spot of redesign and the site is back on now
Thanks for everyone's input, really valuable.
The series is complete now, it was originally a three parter; Atlantic Conveyor, San Carlos FoB and Port Stanley Airport but the last one kind of grew as I started writing it to include Black Buck and RAF Stanley
A trilogy in 5 parts!
The Atlantic Conveyor #Falklands30 | Think Defence
Harrier Forward Operating Base ? Falkland Islands | Think Defence
And on Port Stanley
That Famous Runway at Port Stanley ? Part 1 (Pre Conflict) | Think Defence
That Famous Runway at Port Stanley ? Part 2 (Conflict) | Think Defence
That Famous Runway at Port Stanley ? Part 3 (Post Conflict) | Think Defence
On my original question about San Carlos FoB, it seems the runway surface was pretty much anything the sappers could lay their hands on; MEXE pads, PSP and the materials they used for helicopter landing pads onboard the civilian ships.
Feedback, as ever, is always very much welcome
