Why is an aircraft like a 777 even doing an NDB approach? A VOR is bad enough but an NDB with paying passengers?

Yes we're all heroes and could do these blindfolded when we were in our twentiesin Barons in Africa but in this age of triple IRS's and GPS's there is no place for pre-WW2 nonsense like NDB's.

The sooner such passenger-threatening rubbish is banned the better.
