Or should they have pressed on, lost visual references and run the risk of flying into UK civilians?
If they had pressed on they would possibly have been flying away from the lights!!!
Sorry, I have only ever sat in one, on my EWI course, and not actually flown one, but are these aircraft like moths, or are you able to fly away from light???
I didn't realise the MMR can distinguish between UK civis and civis of other nations!!
