Publisher's Synopsis

RAF Stanley was a temporary camp in the Falkland Islands, established after the Falklands War in 1982, and, for four years until the permanent airfield was constructed at Mount Pleasant, was the base for RAF servicemen to live and work for five month postings. Graham Logie was a welder in the RAF and spent the South Atlantic winter in 1984 providing welding, metalwork and fabrication services on the base. His experiences varied from getting to know the islands through hill walking, and flights on Bristow helicopters and RAF aircraft, to the more sombre task of sealing coffins for air transport back to the UK. Graham's writing style ensures a mix of factual history as well as light-hearted observations of the life of a serviceman.
