Yes, above details are about right. ASI -ASI was usually over 12 hours. I will find my logbook if anyone needs exact details. 'Poor Sods' - oh, I don't know. Lots of peace and quiet (no ATC to talk to), exciting toboggan behind a Victor, fill up the airbridge, then 6+ hours of peace and quiet (and not arriving at Stanley). Plenty of time for reading and eating. Then 24+ hours off, with the Americans in the early days and then later around English Cove or the ASI pool. The Dakar pool was better though!
