Not sure what's currently going on with the Sapphire batch of Pulsars. Bank Holiday Monday saw 2933 on the 288. Does this mean it's back at WY or Macc now do the 288?

Macc don't run 288s, might just be on loan.

Hate to sound the cynic but does that mean it only has enough charge to reliably do 3 round trips? Or is it moreto do with absence of charging infrastructure?

Is that shallow destination screen legal?
