The NDB ILS DME is not the same as an NDB DME, an easy mistake to make with the way plates are named... for Brum

Jepps plate 11-1 is the NDB to the ILS with DME for Runway 15, thus the NDB gets you to the ILS which is the final approach aid, inbound course 149

Jepps plate 16-1 is the NDB with DME for Runway 15, thus the NDB is the final approach aid, inbound course 154
Interesting; thanks. I guess he flew the ILS inbound. There does not appear to be any actual problem with that. Why is the NDB inbound offset? I cannot see relevant obstacles.
Sadly it was in an N reg with FAA licences and and will probably be heralded as an example of JAA V FAA while such errors are made in every realm of aviation and licence even multi crew.
As always...
