I observed several aircraft go around from Cat1 minima while others, presumably using the CAT2 approaches, landed successfully. Go figure.🙄
The event was at 1915 onwards ……Sunday evening…….it was not forecast….I was there and just landed by the skin of my teeth at the Cat 1 minima….flew into the fog at 400’ over the approach lights and only just stayed visual.
