212man,
If your comment refered to me I didn’t think that the formation were trying to fly a formation circuit. They were obviously positioning for a RIAB (although very early to echelon if they were) when the first power loss occured. This left him with the option of going straight towards finals for the easterly runway with a right base to land downwind or joining (as he did) in a more conventional downwind position for left base to finals with M11 in the undershoot. Wasn’t there so not at all criticising but I think it’s perhaps helpful after videos like this are published to examine the what ifs.
