One straight from the "horses" mouth so to speak.
Freddie Scott Chief Pilot of Instone was working into LHR one evening with a sick spey engine on board
Conversation was as follows
TWR "Maintain 160 to the marker"
'SU "Say again"
TWR "Maintain 140 to the marker please"
'SU " Repeat please "
TWR "Maintain 120 to the outer marker 28L please"
'SU "Getting closer- will maintain Vne to the marker"
So sayeth the man - Perhaps Heathrow Director could corroborate ?
Be lucky

P.S. Does any one know where Freddie Scott is these days. He ferried both Instone's Bristols from New Zealand to U.K.
P.P.S. Trivia point for today they both had their Prop and Engine controls colour coded red and green from their days with the R.N.Z.A.F.
