Norman Eddleston writes:
The diary check I did ended up as a two hour wallow in nostalgia but I was
surprised to read about many events that had completely slipped my
mind. Apparently I made quite a bit of mead in those days. Amazing. [29 April 2002]
Iain Campbell:
The piano was recovered from Halley 1 and painted by Tony Jackson and
myself. We spent two weekends digging it out; then towed it back to base
in the dark but got lost on the way. I don't quite know how but we
finished up back at Halley 1 before getting the direction right. I
always thought there was something a bit surreal about two blokes towing
a piano on a sledge in the middle of the Antarctic. [13 June 2006]

Stuart Lawrence says:
1971/1972 First visit by Self together with Chris Elliott;
travelled in style from Ship to Base seated on deck chairs on a BAS Cargo Sledge.
Every visit thereafter provided responsibilities, pleasures (illicit ski-doo rides),
challenges, problems and rewards which convinced me to stay with BAS until retirement in 2003.
Many thanks to all at BAS HQ, Halley, and all Bases for my myriad of memories. [24 April 2014]
