@fulelo rather worrying, as this will put the #Falklands back in the spotlight!

One for all the Margaret Thatcher fans on Mastodon. What, nobody!? Fine.

This is from #OnThisDay in 2016 when we visited the #FalklandIslands and enjoyed a tour of the battlefields before enough time in #Stanley to explore, hit a museum, and a pub. They hold Maggie in high regards in the Falklands, but despite that the islanders are very nice people.

It's a bright, sunny day with not a cloud in the sky. We're standing on some grass that looks short and a little dry. In the background are some low houses, all white wooden panelled on the outside and with with red or green roofs. There is a large tree full of leaves with upper branches and leaves leaning sharply to the left. It almost looks like it's being blown by a hurricane but that's probably an illusion and simply the result of growth over a period of time in a position that's susceptible to constant breezes from one direction. Partly blocking the view of the tree and houses is a stone block mounted on stone bricks. There's a plaque on the front of the block and atop is a metal bust of Margaret Thatcher. Between the monument and the houses behind we can make out a road sign reading "Thatcher Drive".

For #ThrowbackThursday here's a shot from 1982 when my family - like so many other families in #Portsmouth - headed down to #Southsea to see off the task force setting sail for the #Falklands following the invasion by Argentina. That is the aircraft carrier #HMSHermes in shot as our family was friends with another, the father of which ran the boiler rooms aboard.

Colour photo scan of a picture taken in 1982. It's a grey day on the seashore. Grey choppy waves fill most of the view but in the bottom right of the frame there is a gathering of people on some sloping stone walkway down into the water. The people are all looking out to sea where tug boat is leading an aircraft carrier.

The #Falklands uses its own currency. It is 1:1 with the UK £ and UK notes and coins are accepted everywhere. Shops taking cards is more common since Covid. The shops aimed at tourists often take € and $. We have one bank - Standard Chartered. The coins have wildlife on them!
