Up to a point Lord Copper.
It is always good to see someone have a happy ending to a fraught moment in aviation.
The downside is that the cause of the untoward moment in cases like this frequently points to the operator/pilot. Dual/Multiple engine failure is often traced to poor operator technique, such as cross-feeding errors, mis-fueling, or plain old running out of fuel.
I very much hope that this is not the case here.
