FR24 gives ATD from DSA as 1223L and arrival back at DSA as 1530L. Aircraft was down at Lasham from 24/9/20-9/10/20 so possibly new spray gear nozzles were fitted during this time.

(Sister ship G-OSRB had done an overshoot of rwy 19 here in August).

No landings were made. 12+ passes were made at low level to runway 01 with water sprayed on all but the first pass.
