Flight doesn't RTB

I have encountered something strange: I have the next to last waypoint over France, and the last one at Tangmere (landing). As I approach Tangmere, I tell my flight to RTB. They turn back over the channel, head for France, run out of fuel and crash. Why is this happening?

Try adding a new "penultimate" waypoint near (within 10km or so) the landing field at Tangmere at, say 500ft, then the final one over the base itself.

It might be that they are returning to the penultimate waypoint before setting up to land. If your penultimate waypoint is over france, then they're flying back there to start their line up....

I see, thanks for the advice. I will try that and report back.

Hahh, silly me! The waypoint was over Tangmere, but not set to "Landing"...duh..
