I wintered in 1978 at Argentine Islands ( base Faraday) as a beastieman having
been seconded from the Army. In March 2002 all of my Antarctic memories
were lost in a catastrophic blaze while my belongings were in storage
I am keen now to re-establish any links to anyone with photos of
my year there so I can show my kid.

Andy Denley (1980) West Hoathly, Sussex
I was a mere lad of 19 when I arrived as a green WOM at Argie. My parents
hardly recognised me when I got back after after two summers and winter
away. I got the impression at first they would rather I went straight
back! Grand times. Possibly the best job I ever had.
Graham Hurst (1982) - Bakewell, Derbys
I went down as base doctor and still have rather mixed feelings about it
all. Nice
jolly round south and north Americas at the end though!

I worked as deckhand on Bransfield from 86 - 88, Rothera Base GA for summer

as lecturer on World Discoverer in 2000 - 2002 and could quite happily

hear from anybody from that era who remembers.
