where was the Lossie cab?
Pure guesswork, but several likely options:
Lossie and/or Boulmer already committed to other tasking
Lossie and/or Boulmer off state
The Dundee task was a medevac to a specialist unit in Glasgow (ECMO perhaps), so Prestwick might be best suited as they could collect the medical team from Glasgow and take them to Dundee
Or the RN have heard rumours of Leuchars closing and were attempting a stake-out...
