Something not quite right about that.
Non pilot by the way.
There are previous posts which point to the Wiltshire Police statement, which does not verify the newspaper report that the pilot took off to burn off fuel: did you read it?
Nonetheless, to answer your query about why he
may need to burn off fuel, it would have been a weight issue when picking up casualty and medical crew had it been needed.
