1. Now IMC after aborting, how do ATC deconflict me from other non-circuit traffic?
2. I have a contract with my formation to maintain contract sanctuary altitudes with reference to the granite, not my planned arrival airfield, (especially if we end up getting avoiding action.)

I know Lossie is only just above sea level but the principal remains and it is, in my opinion, a bad habit to start setting QFE without thinking of the ramifications. As for your first comment/question - fair point for discussion in the crewrooom but I wouldn't want to start the debate whilst aborting from low level. I am not saying that I am correct in my opinion, I am just adding my thoughts
