Localiser, can I ask you a question? Can you explain why it is that on minimum fuel you have to divert after a missed approach rather than re-fly the approach?

Surely a trip around the circuit would require less fuel than a diversion? Or is it that there isn't enough fuel to afford two missed approaches? If so, what happens if you need to do another one at your diversion airport?!

Many thanks
Nick
