I did a similar boo boo at Leeming on my Final Handling Check in a Vampire out of Linton on Ouse. Upside down in a loop the checking instructor closed the throttle and informed me the engine had failed. Did all the right things and got a steer for Middleton St George from D & D. Unfortunately it was underneath and Leeming was visible on nearly the right heading. Much yakking on the radio to MstG on VHF when I realised that the expected Lightnings were all Jet Provosts. Had to do a roller on the crosswind runway as that was all the height I had. JP's disapearing in all directions but I got it in. Didn't stop me from having to do it all again the next day!
