Basingstoke to the Falkland Islands!

Hey everyone, as you will see from my profile I'm based in the Falklands with the RAF at the moment, and would like a favour from any member willing in Basingstoke. I have a Faultmate Extreme on order (will be here next week I hope) but as a Mac user I don't have a serial port or Windows to plug it into. I have found a Toughbook on fleabay item 290335598138 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Panasonic-Toughbook-CF-45-CF-45EJ48-PC-Notebook-CF45_W0QQitemZ290335598138QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment?hash=item439959a63a&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
but it's in Basingstoke and they don't ship to British Forces Post Offices (BFPO). BFPO addresses attract the same postage as if you were posting it down the road in the UK, and I wondered if anyone would be prepared to pick it up and post it to me here, after I have sent you the money of course (with some extra for your trouble)?

Let me know if you can help.

Chris

wot again!

Yup I will do it - just let me know where and when?

You are a gentleman and a scholar thank you very much indeed for your help. I shall contact the seller on fleabay and ask where and when, pay for it, and then let you know. I shall send you a cheque unless you have a prefered method such as paypal, to cover postage. I'll PM you when I know more.

Thank you again

Chris

If it's any use, I live about 10 minutes away from RAF Lyneham. if you get it sent to my place, i can deliver it to camp (well, meet one of your mates there) who might be able to smuggle it on board a C130?
