"CLOSING THE LOCALISER FROM THE LEFT"

To this day I still scratch my head when i see that. Like most things with UK phraseology, what was the incident that led to that being introduced (tongue kinda in cheek. There must be a reason)
I heard some colonial thought he was closing from the right and landed at the wrong airport........
