I'm heading there in a month or so, then onwards to St Helena - I have a penchant for wanting to visit weird and remote places. Taking a drone, I might post footage here.

I have been at the airport briefly, twice. Once on the way into the Falklands, once on the way out. Both in the early 2000s, both times on an RAF Tristar. I was a contractor going down there for a months worth of work, surrounded by civilians and military on my flights.

Well... Who ran the comms stuff?
I don't think I'd need a spoiler tag to say government intelligence agencies.

From the Wikipedia article, Ascension boasts what's sometimes called the world's worst golf course. I'm on my way ^_^

Well... Who ran the comms stuff?
It's an island in the middle of the ocean, placed between two continents, with limited, military-controlled access by the US and UK. I don't think I'd need a spoiler tag to say government intelligence agencies.
