From the British team news reports, it seems that they flew into an area
of dense smoke / deduced visibility. Presumably, and this looks likely
from the task maps since all tasks went further north than in any other
direction, this would mean that when they were flying home after the
recall, they'd be flying out of the area of poor visibility.
