707 Northolt...DC-8-63 on 4300ft strip

Heathrow Director...I used the phrase got on the glidepath for the LH 720B because I can't remember the details about how close it got to touchdown....I wasn't suggesting PAR=ILS, merely confirming that PAR was still available around 1970.....came across this account of a Seaboard DC-8-63 putting down on a Vietnamese wartime STOL strip tagged onto a report about a Seabord DC-8-63 being forced down in Soviet territory with 200 troops onboard during the Vietnam war
