Introduction

1844	The construction of roads in Stanley was started in April. By the end of 1848 £2,100-11-5 ¾ had been spent and the work was unfinished.
1849	As the main road had been practically finished it became necessary to construct roads or tracks at the back of the town. This cost £144.
1853	Ross Road was continued approximately 170 yards further eastward.
1856	Ross Road was extended further.
1871	Tracks to Darwin Harbour and Cape Pembroke were partially finished at a cost to date of £79-4-10.
1888	Hebe St and Fitzroy Road East, which had previously existed only by name, were formed and drained at a cost of £180. Anew road for carting peat from the western suburbs and for a frontage to the adjacent land was constructed and drained at a cost of £70.
1889	James St was formed, drained and macadamized.
1890	A substantial sea wall of about 100 yards was built.
1891	A sea wall, running from the Dockyard to the West Store was started.
1895	Reclamation work was begun and an extensive sea wall was erected for filling in.
1897	A sea wall, some 300 yards in length, was built for the protection and widening of the road running past Government House.
1905	Barrack Street was broadened, drained and metalled throughout and Hebe Street was substantially repaired.
1908	Ross Road was metalled for about half a mile east of the Cemetery.
1924	Motor vehicles were first introduced to the Falkland Islands and by 6 January 1926 there were five privately owned cars, four lorries and three tractors. Of these, eight were Fords, three were Morris’, and one was a Citroen. At this point the total road mileage in the Falklands was approximately five miles in Stanley. In the Camp there were limited tracks around a few of the settlements.
1926	Ross Road and the other principal roads in Stanley were re-laid and provided with a pavement or a kerb and gutter.
1929	In June work was commenced on a road to the Admiralty Wireless Station at Moody Brook, a distance of three miles. It was estimated to cost £5,800 and was known as the North Camp Road. It was completed early 1932 and it was the first metalled road to be built outside the town boundary.
1932	Work was started on a road to Surf Bay. It was completed early 1934 at a cost of £7,000. A ribbon track towards Sapper Hill was altered and converted into a road and continued towards the foot of Mount William. Over the next two years good progress was made on to Mount Harriet on the Darwin-Fitzroy track but for reasons of economy the work was stopped in 1934. Ross Road at ‘Italy’ near the Battle Memorial was widened by reclaiming and filling in part of the foreshore.
1935	An access road towards and through the peat deposits was continued with the main road in the direction of Eliza Cove.
1953	There were 12 miles of road in Stanley and 69 cars, 23 vans, 38 motorcycles and 24 lorries licensed in the Islands.

Introduction

With the first test flight being held on 19 December 1948, the 75^th anniversary of the Falkland Islands Government Air Service (FIGAS) will be commemorated on 19 December 2023.

In a letter to the Crown Agents in 1931 the Colonial Secretary wrote ‘…that this Government has under consideration the matter of purchasing and maintaining an aeroplane primarily for the purpose of conveying passengers and mails between Stanley and the outlying farm settlement of the Colony.’ but in March 1932 he reverted to the Crown Agents saying ‘…owing to the high cost both of acquisition and of maintenance involved it is not possible in present financial circumstances to proceed further in the matter.’ [TRN-AVI-1#2]

In 1938 the Government asked the Falkland Islands Company Ltd to investigate the possibility of using seaplanes in the Islands. The Colonial Secretary wrote that Governor Henniker-Heaton concurred generally with their views ‘as to the value a flying boat would have for the Colony and considers that the service should form part of a development programme.’ [TRN-AVI-1#4]

By 1939 a report stated that ‘The Government has investigated the cost of establishing a seaplane service in the Colony. There can be no doubt of the widespread benefits that would result from such an improvement in communications. The initial cost and maintenance charges would be heavy though negligible in comparison with the cost of construction of metalled roads.’ A handwritten note by Governor Henniker-Heaton on the end of the report stated ‘The above was prepared before the war and the cost will doubtless be much higher after it. There seems therefore little prospect at present of the Government having sufficient funds to establish a flying service. The people of the Colony have however recently had an opportunity, through the kindness of the Captain of HMS Exeter, of learning of the great benefit of transport by air in saving life.’ [TRN-AVI-1#4]

The Colonial Annual Report of 1948 reported that ‘Two Auster aeroplanes were bought through Royal Airforce disposals, one as an ambulance, the other for the carriage of mails. They arrived in the Colony at the end of 1948, being brought out on the mv John Biscoe, and quickly proved their value for hardly had they been assembled and tested before an emergency call was received from North Arm. The call was promptly answered, and a little girl was flown into Stanley, where she was successfully operated upon; she would otherwise have died.’ [P-COL-2#2: P-FIW-5#52] The first test flight was held on 19 December 1948. The first official air mail service was inaugurated on Wednesday 12 January 1949. [P-FIW-6#2]
