Fenix
The other morning when I went to the boatshed to clean up after the party and remove the parachute I took the above picture of the Fenix which is a landing craft left over from the Argentine invasion of South Georgia in 1982.
This is a picture of the parachute before I removed it from the shed. It was used during one of the air drops which the British Forces based in the Falklands do every now and again to prove they can basically! In the case of an major incident where a cruise ship founders and we have 500 people on base they can bring vital supplies by flying 5 hours and air dropping the supplies to us.
