Once you are in the Falkland Islands, the British government certainly doesn't do you any favours if you want to visit the mother country.
MoD airbridge flights (UK-based) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Ministry of Defence operates non-commercial flights from the United Kingdom. Flights fly south from the RAF base at Brize Norton, Oxfordshire every Sunday and Wednesday, and north from the Falklands every Monday and Thursday. Flight time is appproximately 20 hours, including a refuelling stop on Ascension Island at the mid-way point (where visitors can stop-over should they choose).

A friend of mine was there last year for a couple of months putting up wind mill generators. He said the fishing was good...

At least he didn't have to pay for his ticket!

We were kind of curious about going there and were looking into flights - there are flights from Chile, but not from Argentina, for obvious reasons. I could not believe how expensive they were. I guess we won't be going any time soon.
