There were lots of interesting holds being undertaken over the foggy period including left handed holds at Alkin. I heard a klm pilot who was holding at spear ask for the weather at lcy, the controller told him that the rvr was only 600m but he still asked if he could try and approach. the controller replied that the airport was not allowed to under 650m.....this is my kinda pilot
