Old folk wave in the new Blue Bus THE keys of the new Blue Bus were handed over to Mrs Dorothy Newman by Ian Doherty at an official ceremony by the FIC garage last Wednesday. The 12-scater bus which arrived in the Anne Boye last week, was driven away by John Birmingham, filled with Stanley’s old folk who, cheering and shouting, were obviously delighted with their new transport. The diesel Leyland DAF vehicle, shipped by FIC, cost £11,320, including the radio. All the money was collected through various charity events. British forces stationed in the Islands, Kelvin International, the Rex Hunt Fund, FIC and the public as a whole contributed towards the bus, which is used to take Stanley’s senior citizens anywhere they would like, but are often unable, to go.

FERRY WILL

5 YEARS EXCO has decided it will be five years before a ship with a ferry capability will be required in the Islands. So councillors rejected plans for a £1.9m replacement for Monsunen and opted for a cheaper alternative. Current road-building plans and development of transport within ^j\HD I Si, % the Islands meant there was no immediate need for a vessel with special passenger facilities which would lead to higher insurance rates and other costs. “Why”, asked the Governor, Mr William Fullerton in his ExCo briefing, “pay all that extra when it could not be used for that time?” He went on: “It may be, too, that councillors will eventually decide that there should not be an East/West ferry. “They have made no commitment on this point.” At the same meeting Council also agreed to keep its options open as to whether the current Camp road project should continue to New Haven, the proposed ferry terminal. In the mean time, it will stop at Cobbs Pass near Orqueta House. Later, speaking of the ferry, the Governor said, “I should add that for the carriage of up to 12 passengers there are no particular difficulties HeR\tag\ apart from the provision of adequate shelter facilities with seats "For any number greater than WITH preparations for Herit- several youngsters at Stanley 12, the expense rises sharply and age Year now well under way, Senior School to produce a logo Pension choice the the qualifications of the crew have choice of an official logo has depicting the different themes to be considerably enhanced." been made. that are being celebrated in for R/T staff Pictured on the left is the 1992.

The new ruling would lead to more frequent and smaller or­ ders, which might be difficult to arrange.

WRECKAGE

IS FOUNDWRECKAGE believed to be from the missing Phantom fighter aircraft was found late yesterday afternoon in the search area off MacBride Head, East Falkland. The crew of two have been named and Iceberas bv the dozen are now "missing , believed killed." The plane went missing on missing on Wednesday during a routine patrol. On board were the pilot, FI Lt. Ian (Mongo) Halden, aged 25, and his navigator, FI Lt Christopher (CJ) Weightman, aged 32. Both were stationed with No 19 Squadron at Wildenwrath, Germany. FI Lt Halden was married and his wife is expecting their first child this month. Earlier seven fishing vessels from four nations - Poland. Italv. Spain and Bulgaria - had helpedin the search. Offers of help from many other international vessels were turned down. One Bulgarian vessel was short of fuel but joined the search anyway. A Hercules aircraft reached the area to start the search eight minutes after the Phantom was reported missing. Two hours later the first ship, the Falkland patrol vessel Protector , arrived. The search concentrated on an area nine miles square which has been predicted by the Edinburgh Rescue Co-Ordination Centre to be where the crash is most likely to have happened. The aircraft ot apparently crashed into the sea 10 miles north of MacBride Head. No May Day message or distress calls were received. The first day's search was hampered by poor visibility, at times down to 150 yards.

And we must know who their backers are. “But I must make it clear, these are Anglo’s restrictions. There is no block being put on local parties by FIC.” Meanwhile, FIC staff have until Monday to decide whether they wish to join the bid to buy the company for themselves. But even if they go ahead, it is by no means certain that they will succeed. Stuart Mosey, who is busy trying to put an employee buy-out deal together, currently puts his chances of success at “just more than 50-50.” “Obviously Anglo-United will do what is best for them,” he said. FIC management has given 100 per cent support to the scheme and, so far, response from the rank and file has been encouraging. So much so that Stuart reckons he already has enough to put a deal together Stuart will also ask the public to subscribe - at a slightly higher price than the staff - and local businessmen, too, are being approached, with the offer of possible directorships.
