Later Lightnings had a very good auto ILS. Would track localiser and glidepath accurately and had an auto throttle which held 178+/- 3 knots (as I recall). Rumour had it that a senior officer went into the barrier having failed to disconnect the auto throttle after landing from an auto ILS/auto throttle approach !? Anyone got more info on this?
