The RAF local chapter would surely recognise the drill...
They use it in Brazil all the time... ;-)
Yawn...

Here's betting that by this time next year more humanitarian / technical stop RAF flights will have occurred but not one of them Argie-approved airlines will have landed on our soil.
Not only that but Falklands-registered aircraft will continue to land in several South American countries like they do at present.
...and no Argentinian billionaire bankster is going to make any difference to that.
BTW, thanks for dusting off doveoverdover for me. Is it easy to Switch between all of the slightly different but nonetheless equally unsavoury characters?
Reality check anyone?

Good to know domestic flights between Comodoro and our Malvinas Islands were authorized.

How is the low cost airline scandal going anyway? Are any of them not dodgy in some way?
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

the islanders should put a stop to this,
Mar 18th, 2017 - 09:04 pm - Link - Report abuse -1next they will be giving out argentine /Malvinas passports, and doing all your trade deals,
then have the Gaul to accuse the islanders of hatred against them..?
Think- Actually it would be Falklands Islands Dept of Civil Aviation that would give formal authority for such an emergency landing rather that the RAF - but of course it would not be denied in emergency circumstances - but one assumes the pilot would be fired later due to gross negligence in his map reading to end up this far off his route over Patagonia!!

Mr. Islander1...

Them Sanson Islands have been correctly placed in our maps since 1541...!

Sanson? Only if you believe Roger Herve's 1982 account Think, and very few do. Sanson was described in the 1541 Islario as lying 18 leagues from the coast of South America.

With all the airfields around South America, why would an aircraft of limited range chose to divert 300 plus miles to the Falklands?
It would have to land into wind which mainly comes from the west, so any pilot with an emergency would be risking the lives of the passengers and have to fly further round as it would be hazardous to land with the wind.
A pilot in an emergency would not ass about, their priority would be to land as soon as possible.
I hope no pilot would be stupid enough to do what you suggest for the avoidance of a disaster.
@IM
“Good to know domestic flights between Comodoro and our Malvinas Islands were authorized”
Even though those flights cannot land in the Falklands without authority from Falklands Civil Aviation?
I would suggest this is why your country isn't that successful as it doesn't follow things properly to their conclusion.
Authorising a flight without permission for it to land isn't sensible, and means the flight won't happen unless your government speaks to the FIG, so authorising it is utterly futile if the flight isn't actually going to happen.
Would you be happier perhaps if flights were authorised by the Argentine MOT to the moon, even though they too, were unlikely to land?.
In your case, I guess you would be throwing a party if they did.

#2 England doesn't have the wherewithal to return the FALKLANDS (please learn the difference between “England” and “The United Kingdom of Great Britain”
#3 The United Kingdom of Great Britain won't be returning the Falklands to Argentina without the express wishes and permission of the Falkland Islanders
#4 It ain't going to happen
HughJuanCoeurs - Hepatitis(YES) hasn't got a clue about the makeup of the United Kingdom and SHE fails to accept that we can't RETURN the archipelago to Argentina as it has never been part of Argentina and never will be.

So, what, the planes just take off and fly a few laps around Patagonia then land again???????
