Perhaps one day from the very appropriately named Ascension Island? It would be pricy to ship things out there, but it's had an RAF presence on it for donkey's years and if something went wrong it's very far from population centres and surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean.
- uberswe 5y agoRAF = Royal Air Force? I'm neither British or American and RAF stands for Recruit-a-Friend to me.
- signaturefish 5y agoCorrect, the British Royal Air Force.
- BoxOfRain 5y agoSorry, I should have wrote that one out! You're correct, it's the Royal Air Force.
