Hi ya Ian, great to hear from you, and a very Merry Xmas !!! (Thanks for giving me an excuse to steal 10 minutes of quiet from the bedlam of having 16 Xmas house-guests to post this update for you. )
By the way, I’ve marked this post with the location of Novo – zoom in to the location in satellite view to see the base in amazing detail. The massive Ilyshun aircraft can even be seen parked next to the runway!
Hi,
just found your blog on the net. I helped build Halley 5 back in 89/90. Quite sad to see all that work taken away but that’s progress. Hope it all went well for you.
Good Luck

Yeah – Happy Christmas. Do you have enough chocolate this year?
If the answer to that question comes back as a yes then someone is clearly feeling the effects of the cold
Lovely pictures of penguins
What will you do to welcome in 2013?
Yes, those penguine pictures are wonderful, I’d even have some of them on my wall!
