I hate to "mention the war" again but...........
During '89 a charter mob from Europe ( 737-300) nearly collected the hill north of YBCG whilst trying to conduct a non precision approach to 14 in bad wx, they got very very low as I recall.
And just to show I'm not a biased '89er, a pre-89 TN 733 nearly landed on a road beside MK during an instrument app in bad wx, they lined up on a well lit road due to a large map shift.
oh yes..............A TN 727-200 had the wrong DME selected flying into Perth about 1980 sometime. Thought he was on profile for PH but instead was about 150 miles further east as he'd tuned the wrong DME. He got so low that Perth ATC lost comms and he lost the Perth VOR as well. They realised their mistake below 10,000' and climbed back up. Woops...
