Fun on IFR renewals...."DME homing".....and the "DME Descent" that often followed!
Bracketing closer to the topic though

Memories, the EN 17 twin locator, was that Bolinda? ...to the NDB, could put you at the minima with legal visibility but the runway not in sight. My IF instructor pointed out this anomaly. My instructor was L.I. who worked for J. C. out of MB in the 70s for those who haven't succumbed to 'old timers' disease.
Just spotted Stationair8's recollection of the same one, doubt it was used much the ILS being handy.
Home port Phillip Island was designed after I pestered them for some years. Never used it once in anger, being a time wasting cloud break procedure. A new world for me was a weather radar, fortuitously already fitted to one chariot aquired along the way. It regularly painted a beautiful picture of the Westernport islands, Bay, Peninsula and north coast of Tassie.

EN 17 Twin Locator
Arcadia - Meadow - EN.
Was also offset from he RWY centreline too.
Only did once for real in a Seneca and that was enough. Dad did it for real in a B727-100 one dark and stormy and said that it was one of the few times he was concerned there wasn't enough runway.
