Guy alcala twisted the electrons to say:
The runway has long since been shortened and narrowed, to 3,013' x 63' (from 4,100' x 150' pre-war, extended to 6,100' x 150' in the immediate aftermath, until RAF Mt. Pleasant was opened in 1995), presumably to make it less useful in a war while still allowing the FIGAS Islanders to land at Stanley. One wonders if someone thought to include the odd piece of explosive under what's left of the runway - "just in case" you understand ... Afterall, it was bad enough the RAF having to go round the Vulcan preservation groups borrowing pieces of equipment (mostly relating to the refuelling probe) - if Argentina has another go, they'd have to go and borrow entire Vulcans! grins -- These opinions might not even be mine ... Let alone connected with my employer ... |
