Evo, affirm! That was a practice EFATO on 03 (now 02) where the FI actually stopped the engine, and then couldn't re-start. FI left the club fairly soon afterwards .....

On 21 (well, it was 21 when I was learning!) at Southampton I got in the habit of back-tracking at least to the 1000' markers, and preferably a full back-track to the pan, to give more height at the boundary and therefore more options. However, now that EGHI is much busier, requesting a full back-track might at times leave you holding rather than flying. Like so many things in flying, its risk assessment and management.
