I think it was a simple matter that they hadn't allowed him (as a GCH) on an earlier flight which would have got him back to the beach faster. Dad raised it with Colin when we got back and the reply he got was that Colin was constantly trying to get people in the company to use their common sense in situations like that. Sadly he then likened BA to a super tanker and said turning one of those was easier.
