Ahh those surveillance radar approaches! .........."range five and a half miles check your downlocks are dangled". Sterling Caravelles would appear just before touchdown- wonder if they were pushing their minima a bit!
I remember sitting on the ramp one Saturday morning, airport covered in thick fog, listening to the talk down for a Balkan TU154 to then hear the roar of the engines as it broke off the approach but turned right and headed over Wigmore !!
Landed 2nd time round though but I wonder if the cloud cover/vis had increased !!
