The tiny British colony of St Helena in the South Atlantic - the world's most remote inhabited island - is being hit by Whitehall's spending cuts.
An airport considered by many to be vital for the island's future has been cancelled.
The Royal Mail Ship St Helena currently delivers all sorts of supplies to the community.
Second officer Mia Henry gave BBC News a tour of the ship's bridge and cargo hold.

Yes you can sail from Portland to st Helena spend 2 or 3 days there and then sail on to cape town and fly home about a 24 day trip.
Very different to a normal cruise, was thinking of doing it this year, but it is a lot of money about 3000.but after strike a change of plans.
