I remember what I think was the 1st CatIII landing at LBA.
A Britannia 757, Christmas day or Boxing day from TFS.
There was a 3kt tailwind. The pilot said above this and it was not possible.
Not being up on the subject, cant remember if he said CatIIIB or C.
However, I think the RVR was 150m full autoland.
He landed OK.
First comments, "problem is where are we"?
"Can someone find us and guide us in." "we cant see the ground"
The hump was not in question.
Many airports have a hump.
CatIII is CatIII surely.
Maybe an LBA ATC reader can confirm this landing.
