What exactly are you angling for, serf? Do you want someone to say that they were suffering from 'press-on-itis' and they had to land at Sumburgh because they weren't holding fuel for an alternate?

Given the forecast at Sumburgh, the crew would not have departed the Borgsten if they weren't holding sufficient fuel to fly to Sumburgh and then on to a suitable alternate. That alternate would probably have been closer than Aberdeen so, yes, they might have needed a top up at Sumburgh in order to make it to Aberdeen.
