Flew into Leeds for a couple of years on the NG and it can be a tricky place. The runway is not well aligned with the prevailing winds and there was a phenomenon on short final where the speed would be all over the place. I think the Jet 2 guys called it the knot gobbler. The TAF today had pretty much complete crosswind and the initial procedural approach onto 14 looks like they never got close to being stabilised. The second time looked more promising although the ground speed looks like they had a generous Vref add on and possibly a bit of a tailwind.
