Quite right Snooky, all company aircraft to use Cat 2 DH on 27L due beam bends until further notice. Same brief also states that 09R and 27R are Cat 1. Perhaps if the aircraft was looking tight on fuel he may have requested the runway that gave him the best chance of getting in, rather than going around and having all sorts of troublesome fuel problems.
BIK - which UK airline is operating with HUDs?
