Nostalgia is not what it used to be John!
I have to smile when I think of the antics we got up to 25 years ago which are now, quite rightly, considered absolute no-nos. Power off arrivals from TOD until turning off the runway were considered the norm for many 'island' arrivals.
FLIDRAS, GPWS, etc. have put paid to such antics. But that is for another thread!
