Why was he so far off the centre line? I assumed the guidance systems would have had him better lined up than that?
I assume the guidance system in use was Mk.1 eyeball, so good question; unless as others have asked a shift in the wind at low level. I was amazed that there were people 'on the beach' in the rain.

Approaches show only a couple of degrees offset from runway heading.
Looks like low level wind shear.
Again, there's nothing special about this and it's what 'we' do.
