I am a bit testy Airclues so forgive me but there is nothing wrong with that BBC line - it is always possible they could have been returning with a problem that developed at low level or even takeoff. That will often catch out an inexperienced pilot who has not landed with a full load and a distracting problem.
You know the old saying about keeping your mouth shut and just looking the fool rather than opening it and removing all doubt...
