1981 Pitcairnese airfield referendum

A referendum on building an airfield was held in the Pitcairn Islands in March 1981.[1] With the island only accessible by boat, around 90% voted in favour of constructing an airfield. The Island Council supported the construction of an airfield. However, construction was too expensive for the British Authorities.[1]

gollark: Sorry, the two input hashes.
gollark: If they put in one thing, and observe that it takes slightly longer, then that implies that more of the characters in the ~~password~~ one secret value versus the other match at the start.
gollark: But consider: attackers may be able to measure minor differences in the timing of operations in your service.
gollark: > Also, just using == to compare ~~a password and hash~~ secret values of some kind is actually somewhat unsafe because timing channel attacks.To continue this, basically, `==`/string equality/whatever will generally exit early if it detects a character which doesn't match.
gollark: sorry, no, I got confused with JS.
