LOL I won't trust myself after a long flight to LHR , holding for 15-20 min over biggin or Ockham , then a manual approach and landing ......I can't keep my eyes open after the first hold anyway ! Long haul flying sucks big time ..

With you completely. I fully understand the limitations. Some crews will have zero chance to hand fly and I've also never tried it holding over Ockham on arrival. Too busy using my free hand to hold my eyelids open.
