Hydraulic failure does not end in continued flight, it ends up in whatever patch of earth you are over when it fails.
I don't know about the other models, but for a B or BA this is certainly not true. You can fly a good distance to a suitable site for a running landing, or even hover if you really have to, although I certainly wouldn't choose to if there was an alternative.
