Yes the Kelpies are pretty friendly, cant walk far without being offered a lift.
FYI, and for others wanting something different..
This flight takes place approximately 6 times every month. RAF Brize Norton is located near Carterton, Oxfordshire, England. The nearest railway stations are at Swindon and Oxford. There is no public transport between these stations and Brize Norton, however, taxis are available and can be booked in advance;
Journey time to Mount Pleasant Airport, 35 miles to the southwest of Stanley is approximately 18 hours including a refuelling stop at Ascension Island. Flight services include four in-flight meals. In-flight video film entertainment is available on certain flights. All flights are non-smoking. (Meals RAF canteen issue KK).
