Hi lads,
I saw this approach on Sunday.I'm located 1 mile N of Runway 17,noticed the 737 make his initial approach but he/she was too far to the left of the centreline on short finals presumably from a visual approach as the weather was scorchio with blue skies.The Ryanair had to go around so I went upstairs to see what he would do.He passed over the field didn't climb,so was maybe 800 feet,turned west,then out of view for a short while behind neighbours houses.Next into view in a tight turn to bring him back onto a very short finals over the sunbathing Bishopstown locals,another tight turn back onto the centreline with half a mile to the tresh-hold of Runway 17.With all the turns & slowish speed he climbed a little to come down on the glideslope,so I'd guestimate he was at 500 to 600 feet over Bishopstown.Far from 20 feet above rooftops but none the less very impressive,especially with the winglets.The passengers got their money's worth,nice flying.
