This was EBAW ILS 29 by the way. Outbound from the VOR (located at the field) at 096 degrees, right turn at 6 DME, intercept the ILS 291 degrees at 6 DME again (IF), start descend (FAF) at 4.6 DME. Not a lot of time for correction.
A nice, solid 45º intercept onto final approach track helps - it gets you settled as early as possible.
