I was having an idle beer or 6 with an old mate this week. He's about to depart for Antarctica for a while.
We were pondering whether it might be interesting to gather a couple of the lads and hike from Port San Carlos on the western side of East Falkland, across the island (possibly via Goose Green) to Stanley.
The initial question is around getting to The Falklands. This currently seems to be the best (only) option -
Has anyone flown on this service, or can recommend an alternative?

The Ministry of Defence, UK, operates twice weekly flights from Brize Norton in Oxfordshire, directly to the Falklands with a refuelling stop in Cape Verde. Flights leave the UK on Sundays and Wednesdays. Return flights depart the Falklands on Tuesdays and Fridays. Civilian passengers can book seats on these flights via the Falkland Islands Government Office in London.
