Probably a whole host of reasons, first....YBBN is closer.....kind of important if your fuel load is lighter than you would like. They do have customs etc....and as silly as it sounds its necessary I think. And yes the other significant factor is Amberley is usually closed down at that time so nobody would have been home...even if the lights were on.....

Cheers
