A long time ago as a young FO I was doing a check list on a BAC 1-11, the Captain was flying the ILS for the southerly runway at Malaga in broken cloud. Suddenly he said F%*k and abruptly banked the aircraft, I looked out my side window and read the the rego of a 172 going backwards, it was probably no more than 40 meters away!
The 172 was VFR traffic that was supposed to be 10nm west of the airfield but I guess he decided it was better to do the ILS and not tell anyone............no radar at Malaga in those days!
