Thought I'd just finish this thread with some more detail to calm the outraged Daily Mailers
Having had an update, the video clip actually shows the aircraft hovertaxiing
back out of the weather
having turned round instead of pushing on. No IFR option due to location and fuel.
The weather came across the tops of the hills and down onto them - they stopped, had a look, turned round and, just after the video clip, exited the poor weather and continued en route.
As expected, they reported the incident to their authoriser and chain of command on return to base - BEFORE the video clip even made it to FB.
Anyone care to apologise for the comments they made about this crew and their actions?
