Someone mention Land Rovers at Stanley?
In '83 the Staish asked all drivers to give a lift to any pedestrians heading between the airfield and the Coastels ... there was justifiable concern over people getting exposure/hypothermia [that winter was AWFUL]. I regularly loaded 12+ pax in my LWB as I crashed along the 'road'. Apparently, I eventually destroyed the rear suspension, to MT's horror/amazement.
My farewell gift from ATC may, indeed, have been from that vehicle ... along with a reminder of the speed limit on base
