Spent a year on "the Rock" 1966-7. About 1000 personnel on the island, all male. It was considered a hardship tour. Most of the island was covered with abandoned buildings and piles of rusting 55 gallon drums from the time during WWII when about 20000 people including families lived there.
Sat in the IP seat more than once and was always awed at what they do. The other impression I got was how little room there is to move around in such a huge plane.
