Dear Argentina the indigenous people of your country want their land back. go back to Spain.

I'm a parish councillor for Killamarsh where you have recently provided some micro surfacing. Residents are complaining about the quality of work. Myself and a district councillor investigated today and we are in agreement with residents. We are glad you offer a 2 year guarantee as I feel we'll be seeing you sooner than later.

Never british. Sooner rather than later they will return to the outraged Argentine sovereignty in 1833.

For safety?,what about the 2 men still manually placing cones!

It looks so different to how it did 40 years and a couple of weeks ago…..Per Mare Per Terram

nice short documentary about this interesting project 👏, greetings from Slovakia 🙋‍♂

I am interested to join with your team.

Las Malvinas, Georgias y Sándwich del Sur son Argentinas 🇦🇷

VIVA UK VIVA CHILE PARTNERSHIP FOR EVER

1982 - today. Las Malvinas son Argentinas

Las Malvinas son Argentinas. Saudações do Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷. Saludos hermanos.

Argentinian friends, this is what a modern developed country looks like.

las Malvinas fueron son y serán argentinas!!!

Love the way the guys had the systems to disperse the energy from accidents and still thought what more they could do 💯

This conflict dispute is historical, and based on an event of forceful usurpation that was diplomatically never forgiven by Argentina. It is not about the war to recuperate the islands in 1982, nor about the islanders themselves. If anything the islanders should be complaining to Britain about putting them intentionally in harms way not just once, but twice! If we are to respect each other as nations in this world, nations of equal right to be acknowledged and honored, things can not be as you and your country are attempting to forge and twist them. The principle of a people's right to self determination may very well be an issue between the islanders and London, but not between the islanders and Argentina as the conflict is between the British and the Argentinians. The islanders do not fit the qualification of an integrally autonomous sovereignty of themselves, and thus nor are they relevant to the list of non self governing territories at the U.N, as they have always been since their arrival on the islands willingly under British rule and moreover brought to the islands to serve in the purpose of unlawful expansionism by shielding London from having to deal before the world with Argentina about their denouncement of this territory they consider robbed from them. ... You and your country can keep trying to re-define this matter, attempt to bury events concerning Argentina and its right to nationhood, you can keep trying to turn this into some politically capricious contemporary matter centered around the war of 82 and the islanders falsely accusing Argentina of, but the facts about it, the fact that neither Britain nor the United States possessed any right to attack and remove the lawfully established Argentine settlement in 1820, are never going to change as they have been laid down already in history by all the recorded events concerning all three countries, therefore unchangeable.

Looks like another wonderful achievement! I was lucky to be involved in the very first contract in 1986! Well done Colas!

I was there in 1984 on the Chinooks, we were based out at Kelly's Garden (San Carlos). WE kept them flying in all weathes delivering ONE container at a time to get them started at MP! I worked on the mighty VC10 many moons ago and it pleased me to see them still flying then from the airport, but sadly now they replaced them with some crap aircraft! Loved it down there, I would love to go back but i retire in a few years and Im no millionaire so doubt I'll ever see the Islands again. We got there on a troop ship and came home on SS UGANDA a gem of a ship sadly she is now long gone too. All the best to the forces in the Falklands!

Fact: For 188 years, Britain has never 'not' been working a process of pulling, deceiving and manipulating various areas of our modern civilization in order to rob the world of Argentina's rightful sovereignty arguments regarding the Malvinas or Falkland islands and Antarctica. The islands should probably in all justice be shared and split in half in order to end the conflict in good fairness; but by ignoring the dispute before the world, silencing it where it can, attempting to give its own form and definition to the matter; Britain continues to hog chunks of the planet, never being able to fully abandon its imperialistically confrontational and warring attitude, as if it had more right to the planet and less obligation to respect the equality of all nations than the rest of us do.

Very nice 👌 work

​@UC47ffkI5n1OlDjzThXVXVvg We should be angry, in fact Argentina is not angry enough in my opinion. This is a conflict that has to do with the world's countries honoring and respecting each other as equal nations entitled to the same mature acknowledgment of every issue that would be important to ones own nation. When you stop reading only British sourced material, and learn what actually happened on the Falkland Malvinas Islands, not the narrative the English language consciously has been disseminating and indirectly educating the world with, you see that there is indeed a strong argument on behalf of Argentina in terms of them having had earned greater sovereignty right to the islands by 1820 than Britain possessed at that point, by political definition. However Britain, as it considers its wishes and wants above any notion of respect and equality among the nations the world, has always used its far greater wealth and military power to incur invade meddle with and intervene in South America (and the world) in particular Argentina. ...I bet you have no idea how many military incursions Britain carried out against Argentina throughout history. Britain knew Argentina had a strong case in 1833 for the islands now being rightfully belonging to their administration, but instead of arguing and settling with them by recognizing Argentina's case and their own governments absence neglect and lesser political substance of their own claim, which originated in its confrontation against Spain for colonial domination of the islands, while Argentina though it appeared in the dispute last in terms of it being a Republic, came to the scene with the islands already put within the government of Buenos Aires's administration by Spain since 1776, and was the first country to endow the islands with and actual integral national sovereignty, and "a possible colonial claim". I bet you didn't know that either. Nonetheless, Britain simply decided to forcefully take them from Argentina at a moment it could not defend itself in part because it had just recently been unjustly and abusively attacked by the United States. Never in 150 years until 1982 did Britain ever take Argentina seriously nor respected their continual protests and claim enough to truly mean to pursue an honorable resolution and settlement to the conflict, offensively blackmailing the country with commercial favor and phony friendship in exchange for silence over the dispute. It immediately proceeded to create a strategy to forge the islands away from Argentina while ignorning the dispute; a ploy fake construct of legitimacy which cleverly changed the notions of "invasive colony or occupation" to the term "British Overseas Territory". Britain then used principals which would have been inapplicable to a political international dispute and conflicted situation through putting its own people on the islands as a human shield and then vesting their significance with values of sovereignty like "right to self determination". By doing this Britain intentionally confused the situaion and silence the real argument by still to this day painting over the past and true history of usurpation of an Argentine territory and making it about a colonial situation, misinforming the world and keeping it from paying attention to the real history that occurred, and other facts like for example that the islanders were brought to the islands after expelling Argentina for the purpose of having them fight for the right to the islands when the time came. This is how London attempts to avoid facing justice for its actions making it a situation to do with "a non self governing territory's people decision", rather than the truth which was an action committed against Argentina on Argentine territory, giving rise to this dispute born in 1833. In other words, Britain would have people believe this is about two countries fighting over an independent piece of land, when what actually occurred is that Argentina had incorporated to its territory a geographically necessarily belonging part of land that had been disputed between Britain and Spain, and that ultimately Britain being on the other side of the globe, de-prioritized and never managed to settle and establish administration on, nor of it, having been present on the islands for barely four years 50 years prior to Argentina's official inclusion to its territory. You can see British strategy still going on today, by for example noticing how Britain was quick to make sure that the headlines the world read in 1982 and everything that would be said thereafter never told the story that the Junta invaded in order to recuperate these islands that were occupied by Britain in 1833 after expelling the Argentinians off them first, nor that it was Britain who decided to use the force of war in 1982 once more to take them from Argentina. Argentina did not start a war in 1982, it merely took back and recuperated territory that had been taken from them originally. Britain never sought a peaceful resolution, because it needed the action to be seen as an attack on its territory so that it had an excuse to create a war on the islands. The British intentionally educate people to believe their strategic narrative through the selection of phrases like "Argentina invaded British territory". Through explanations of political principals on of how for example they run their British Overseas Territories, Britain audaciously is looking to change in front of everyone's noses the definition and description of international matters such as colonial expansionism, by using and fake prioritizing the importance of the residents of these places, so that essentially it can hide its own objectives and get away with stealing, while it has the world believe it behaves nobly.

They should build a road network. It doesn't have to be extensive, but something that will connect and link the various outlying areas. They can use natural resources such as hard rock, ballast and volcanic clay already existing on the islands.

gee Argentinians..maybe if your soldiers didn't suck so bad you could still be there..think twice next time you launch an invasion of some ones' land and have to face a proffessional military..get over it you lost!

The landscape and weather look so much like northern Scotland, with barren land devoid of trees and snow.

The people living in the islands want to remain British, but the British treat them as "second class citizens"... ... and that´s what they are: ungrateful kelpers living under Argentine sovereignty.

Sooo . . . what exactly got built?

I’d like to thank the veterans and those that gave their lives during this conflict, also I’d like to thank the Argentine Junta under Galtieri for helping Britain to get it’s shit together over the Falklands. Gracias.

Linda pista se ve fasilmente , inutilizable por saturacion

Dear Argentina, this is what a real country's infrastructure looks like

Why all this expense for a barren rock? I’ve heard there is oil in the waters, so why don’t they drill already. I don’t understand this waste of resources

Impressive build project. Argentina couldnt do it. The Islands will always be British even if England isnt any longer.

Fuck UK

The top layers of tarmac were first applied (1985/86) to a very deep dry lean (concrete) base of the main and secondary runways of Mount Pleasant Airport. This is not to be confused with the very much smaller airport at Port Stanley some 30 miles or so from here. No airport here is named after Shackleton, that was the name given to the resurfacing and refurbishing project which this video depicts. The asphalt was presumably relaid because the old tarmac was 25 years old and worn, and the landing lights, hydraulic arrestor gear and power and fibre optic cable replaced or re-routed to suit new technology. The concrete base will probably be good for 100+ years, it’s the tarmac that wears out. The materials would have been driven by lorry from the harbour to the airfield about 8 miles away. (I worked on the original).

Rivales británicos gracias por mantenernos las islas gratis 👍👋🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

So many angry Argentinians commenting here... If the people living in the islands want to remain British, let them be. Same as Gibraltar.

There’s so much space for more people on the Falklands. Even if the population increase 10 folds, it is still way under populated.

Sorry about your misinformed belief, but NO. It is known that Britain was NOT the first to sight or land on the Islands, the possibilities are a few, including that of Piti Reis the Turkish commander, it is possible that the British were the first to set foot or sail into the canal, as well as not the first. But the Dutch are who are believed to have discovered the Islands and named them. The French were the first ones to build a settlement which is ultimately the only thing that really counts. The Spanish then made justice on their original territorial claim and officially bought whatever rights the French had earned, which entitled them to kick the British off the Western Island. And 2, by the time Britain "lay its unlawful claim", they were already Spanish Territory, in fact the British knew this and thought they could try to get away with sneaking in Port Egmont anyways, and yet eventually yielded back to Spain and abandoned Port Egmont. In fact evidence of a robbing policy is the fact that they never went back to Port Egmont, but took the Islands from the Argentine on the Eastern Island which they had never set foot on. The British left as always antagonistically, because all they've ever done in this world is bring discord fight and war to the peaceful existence of people. While Spain was at that point still in the process of civilizing the old world giving equal rights under god to all people in conquered. Very different to how Britain treated its colonized subjects it would put to work for his Majesty, take their resources and managed the business "their way" through slaves and so forth. Spain did not have "colonies," that word comes from English History. Spain made province type autonomous territories often with local governors. The Southern Cone and Malvinas was part of the Vice-royalty of the Plata River, with capital in BUENOS AIRES. We had the strongest world currency, and Britain basically was jealous and wanted to undermine and have all that Spain had earned. The Vice-royalty, became the United Provinces with capital in BUENOS AIRES, and the United Provinces became Argentina with capital, Buenos Aires. When Spain retreated in 1811 from the Malvinas because of Argentina, Argentina rightfully inherited its abandoned territories through its victory. No one in South America contests that, that's why they all support the Argentine claim (unless they want to kiss the IMF, the U.S. or U.K.'s ass of course). Britain did not seize the Islands upon Spain's retreat, it waited for the right contextual situation, lied to Argentina like a thief about being its ally and friend (same as 82, tag team once more, this time going against the O.A.S.), while it forcefully removed the Islands Argentinian loyal occupants during a key moment of weakness caused by ... no other than the U.S. pirate attack on Puerto Soledad. Why? Because they did not want laws and rules, they wanted to scavenge the land. The U.S. and U.K. are famous for tag team robbing territories, like they did with Diego Garcia, the Virgin Islands and other Caribbean "situations". It looks to me you have been exclusively educated by the British propagandist narrative taught to the British people and the Islanders; because you seem to know nothing other that what concerns Britain's convenient version of events, though self servingly false it may be. Like what is currently taught about WW2, "my little savoir of the world, liberator of the Jews hero" LOL lol In fact, the English language is today definitely the greatest producer of lies in human history out of all the world's literary history, and people in both America and the England are both starting to admit that. Luckily. Unfortunately uncovering the unforgivable truth of the millions both our countries have murdered in order to control AND USE the world. You don't actually believe Galtieri was stupid enough to go straight into a losing war do you? You do, don't you? Just like you believe Britain came reaaaaaallyyy close to not winning that war. LOL Perhaps ... caring more about your own education would be my advice to you.
