So reading through all the posts:
F4 returned because of flight plan problem and France refusing permission to fly over the country (sounds familiar!)
Why did Al Fursan return?

Same reason as you stated above. They had a planned fuel stop in Paris hence why they were low on fuel when returning to fairford.

The Vampire departed at around 14:45 hours?, it was shown on the PlanesTV stream.
If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...
