So, Hatton and Toner were given a bearing of 330 degrees from Benina. It is possible that Lady Be Good had already flown south of Benina, and that the 330 degree bearing would have resulted in Hatton and Toner believing that they were still over the Mediterranean Sea. This erroneous belief would have led them to continue flying south, in an attempt to reach Benina.
When the radio monitors at Soluch heard that lone aircraft nearby, flares were fired into the air. But, the aircraft continued to drone southward over the desert sands, toward the Kufra Oasis.
