If it was a jet aeroplane and is handed over to Southampton Approach high and fast and not having an area of CAS to the North-East with low bases of CAS you will have to fly that pattern to add the track miles to allow the aircraft to bleed off the height and speed. The turboprops are "flexible" enough not to require the extra miles, I understand.
