RAF Mount Pleasant (also known as Mount Pleasant Airport, Mount Pleasant Complex or MPA) is a military base for the
Royal Air Force in the
British Overseas Territory of the
Falkland Islands. The facility is part of the
British Forces South Atlantic Islands (BFSAI). The base, home to anywhere between 1,000 and 2,000 British military personnel, is located about thirty miles southwest of
Stanley, the capital of the Falklands, on the island of
East Falkland. The world's longest corridor, a half-mile long, links barracks, messes and recreational and welfare areas of the base. The base is occasionally referred to by its residents as the
Death Star because of its sometimes confusing layout.
