Maybe it was one important detail that most likely they didn't have the radar target (a b***dy great rock) in front of them! I may be wrong, but it is my understanding that the heading was approximately 120 degrees and due to the wind the track was 098 degrees. And if you have 10 NM scale on your radar, it is not always that easy to realise that you are drifting to an obstacle if you are pretty close (e.g. 0,3 nm) with that kind of drift angle... But I agree that the 701 radar is very good for ground mapping...
