    Is the BBC paying for John Stapleton's fare? I think the Daily Mail will have something to say about that!
    If Ranulph Fiennes really is the world's greatest explorer, why is he only coming to the Falklands in November- the beginning of summer- when he should really be coming in June or July, when the snow covers the Land Rovers?

    @ Redbaron

    If the private jet is Argentine, then that's the white knuckle ride/ explorer part of the tour for Ranulph Fiennes.

    Think clearly has never been to the Falklands or he wouldn't confuse the price of a pint in The Globe or at the Stanley Arms with the price of a pint in Blighty
