Done it myself - into Leeds/Bradford. After holding because the fog put the RVR below minima, we undertook an ILS onto the active runway (32, I believe). At DA we were still not visual so I did a go around and flew the MAP. On the way, one of the crew saw that the other end of the runway was clear so we then did an ILS to runway 14 and landed without incident. All perfectly safe, perfectly sensible and perfectly legal.
Different point - I trained 4 chaps who went to Manx 2 to fly the Metroliner. 3 of them left at the first opportunity citing it as "the sort of company that you leave as soon as possible".
