Apparently, they had flown on past Karachi, but returned owing to the approach of darkness and a presumed shortage of petrol.

a period of nearly two hours occupied in flying on past Karachi.
No report has yet been received from the pilots but head wind appears to have been encountered after leaving Bagdad; the first stage of 2,600 miles was covered in 27 hours while the second stage of 1,530 miles from Bagdad to Karachi took 24 hours. British Wireless Service.
