I can't help but think, why not save them all up and do 1 later repat to UK and save the fuel?
A C17 can easily take 30 coffins + associated handing pax
The only reasons I can think of - there aren't enough undertakers/hearses/morgue space in Oxon (to deal with additional load over & above natural death rate) or speed of ID-ing victims in Tunisia.
