Ah, Bendy, that is where I was confused. The approach you speak of is directional (i.e. the four legs) as against an NDB - non directional. What was the cockpit indication/instrumentation, if any, for this type of approach? Or was it just following the morse audio to get you on the relative leg and stay there.
Flew many a VAR approach, agree with George in it being "not too bad".
