KIRSTEY - I assure you I had a grand-stand view of the a/c arriving into EDI, the vis was poor by VFR standards with rain and drizzle and evil gust's with wind-shear at low level. The a/c was vectored to final from out over the water and literally hedge hopped all the way from the Crammond Inn on the waterfront to the 24 numbers, he even had to climb to hop over the railway track 400 mts from the r/w start and that was with some of the most weird maneuvers I have ever seen a PA28 perform. The planned trip from Perthshire to Carlisle via SAB VOR that afternoon in those conditions suggest to me the CAA should have a quite word in this bod’s ear
