That was a puzzling flight. It took off from ABZ and was airborne for more than three hours before landing back at ABZ. It trundled up and down the coast as well as constructing the 23 path. Perhaps a staff party on board?

Maybe the crew were temporarily unaware of their position?

Loganair CEO said it was an assurance flight after maintenance! Of course it was - we all know a post maintenance test flight takes more than three hours going round in circles at 2500ft.
