I recently put together an account of my involvement in the goings on in 1982 (nothing to exciting). Not really relevant but a good story from Stanley in July of that year.
"A more humorous story that did the rounds at the time concerned the catering arrangements of various units. As previously mentioned the MCSU had set up shop to the North of the runway, however, a large number of units/formations dotted around the islands were self catering for a variety of reasons. The standard piece of issue kit for cooking in the field was a petrol fuelled stove/cooker. These were universally disliked and considered quite dangerous by most who had used them. The consequence of this was that over the years most tactical units (Army & RAF) had invested (from unit funds) in two-ring camping gas stoves and a supply of butane gas cylinders, TCW was no different in this regard and despite taking a large supply of gas bottles with us they would not last forever and there wasn't a gas plant on the Islands to replenish them. This problem had been anticipated by the supply people at the airfield who had sent a signal to UK for 2,000 butane gas bottles to be flown down. They subsequently arrived, the outcome, one very embarrassed supply officer wishing he had asked for FULL ones".
