Question Departure from BHD

Folks,

Departing BHD from 04 last week in a BE146, the pilot banked left immediately on take-off. By the time we were passing the Liverpool ferry terminal (maybe 1000m from take off point), the a/c had turned through 180 degrees, and continued to turn, levelling the wings over the start of 04, before heading over the east of the city! The take-off was impressive, but I was wondering why so tight? Is this something to do with avoiding BFS approaches? And is it a routine manouvre?
