British paratroopers from 16 Air Assault Brigade parachuted onto Tristan da Cunha, Britain's most remote inhabited overseas territory in the South Atlantic, to deliver medical aid and oxygen supplies to a suspected hantavirus case. The mission covered 7,000 miles in 56 hours to reach the island, which has no airstrip and is normally accessible only by boat.
