Above article says...:
***“The Argentine government also recalled that over a week ago it banned an over flight of a Uruguayan aircraft which had requested to fly back with three Islanders following medical care in Montevideo. However the foreign ministry argued that the aircraft on its return flight pretended to bring a fishing crew of some 22 to 29 members, with no connection to a humanitarian flight.”***

- The Argentine government also recalled that over a week ago..., it DID GRANT PERMISSION to a Uruguayan aircraft which had requested to transport three Islanders following medical care in Montevideo for an Argentinean airspace over-flight...
- However..., the Argentinean foreign ministry DENIED A RETURN OVER-FLIGHT PERMISSION to same Uruguayan aircraft that..., on its return flight pretended to transport a fishing crew of some 22 to 29 individuals..., with no connection to any “humanitarian flight”...

Capisce...?

Negative Think- most planes tend to do a return flight after an outward one! Those crewmen were no more “commercial” than every single humanitarian flight carried out between April and recently around the world flying crews of cruise ships etc back to their home countries.
Normally of course they would have flown out on a commercial flight- there are none- hence they were effectively stranded,
But we know Mrs K pulls the control springs in the Arg Govt so it will lie- and lie and twist
reality as she always has - but she does need to realise that you cannot pick which bits of the 2016 Agreement she can stick to and which to throw out of the pram. Its ALL or NONE.
She may well soon find unless she changes her tune that there may will be no more cooperation from here on DNA Identification work,

Negative..., Timlander1...

- Nothin' “Humanitarian” about chartering a biiiiig plane for taking home 3 (three) Kelpers and getting rid of a lot of foreign drunken sailors...
- “Smartassitarian” would be a more fitting definition..., I Think...

And pleeeease..., based on your above “Smartassitarian” Kelper concepts..., do go ahead with your....: ***“ALL or NONE”*** plans...

I'm positive you will get a prompt & appropriate response from the FCO & the IRC...

Capisce...?

And..., by the way..., Mr. Timlander1...

Were does your “Smartassitarian” Kelper concept of “ALL or NONE”..., fit in last Fridays authorized true humanitarian flight from the Malvinas Islands to Punta Arenas, Chile, with health risk patients, crossing Argentinean airspace...?

Send a humanitarian flight with the remains of the fallen Argys, they deserve to be buried in Argentina, not some quiet corner of a foreign field that will never be Argentinian.

Argentina is there. Never has a country been as highly thought, suffered and loved as Argentina for the Islanders.

Argentina!
