On display, I spotted a book written by one of the British soldiers in 1943.

It was entitled Kansha - The Land of Maybe - which it seemed was a nickname for the Faroe Islands.

Back at the airport I told Magni Arge, the chief executive of Atlantic Airways about the museum exhibit.

"Kansha means more than maybe," he explained.

"It's really a state of mind, part of our Faroese character.

"Perhaps, it's why our passengers and crew take it in their stride when we make a diversion."

The Faroese seem to have struck a balance between living in the modern world and respecting their ancient, and isolated, island past.
