It is a concern that the very SOPs for a turn back that he developed were ignored - a case of don't do as I do, do as I say? What message does that send to ordinary line pilots without such considerable experience on type. The need to select full flaps to clear the buildings due to the lack of height - not ideal? Coasting to the bomber ramp while pissing out fuel? Anyway, thankfully they are here to tell the tale and we can all learn from it.
Centaurus makes some very valid points - just because you can operate the 208 out of shorter strips doesn't make it sensible to waste runway that is available.
