Fareastdriver,
RWY 09/27 EGPB 3871 ft long so a bit below your 6000 ft and RWY 09 they flew is LOC only so higher MDA than would be on ILS.
Following our stabilised approach procedures we can slow down to not below Vy on approach in bad weather but in deciding the speed, consideration must be given to the headwind component, increased drift angle in a crosswind and handling qualities.
This reduced speed is to assist in gaining the required visual references for landing.
Higher target speed might have prevented the accident but it all boils down to monitoring whatever you nominate as your approach speed, not?
