Definitely a Duo Discus. I only have this third-hand, but sounded to me like it was the least-worst landout option; being Winter, apparently the fields in the valley are all full of sheep. No damage done, and the retrieve crew got a free gym session.
Also heard that someone called Mountain Rescue (completely unnecessarily) who were then perfectly positioned to assist a hillwalker with a medical emergency.
