I remember arriving at Bournemouth early in the morning returning from Orlando, to be informed the ILS and Radar was u/s and that we should have to fly a procedural NDB to Rw 27. Probably not at our sharpest after a night flight and notams had given us no reason to expect anything other than Radar to ILS. Fortunately the weather was not too bad so the procedure became in effect an NDB to cloudbreak followed by a visuaL.

It seems ludicrous that modern aircraft should have to fly a procedural NDB in this day and age bearing in mind the alternatives which should be available.
