Fuel
For the return flight,the P1 only made one mistake (leaving aside all the legal/currency stuff)-he did not depart with enough fuel,not really a 'pilot' type error,just plain common sense and all further decisions seemed predicated on this.Even if the wx at Blackpool was cavok,he seemed to have very little reserve for diversion.
With only 2 POB,I can't understand why the a/c wasn't refuelled to the top.I wonder as he was paying for the fuel,cost was a factor.
Very sad event.
