At Heathrow many moons ago I had a US-registered 747 early one morning make a visual approach off WOD for 28L (now 27L). From just south of the field he started a turn which put him on final approach around 3 DME followed by a real greaser. I said "Jeez that was some approach". He replied: "You got a couple of 'nam vets up here boy". Wouldn't happen nowadays...
