021 - 046 - Lt Col of 73 Company RASC in the Falklands relaxing in a chair in the bucket of a forklift truck

A Lieutenant Colonel of 73 Company RASC/73 Squadron RCT, presumably their Commanding Officer, relaxes in an arm chair placed into the bucket of a fork lift truck whilst deployed in the Falkland Islands. Smoking and drinking a can of beer, he is wearing a makeshift top hat emblazoned with the RAOC badge. This is possibly part of an unofficial farewell ceremony, with the Lt Col being fondly seen off by his troops.
