Could be part of a Line Check or training. Sometimes the core skills get rusty and it's better to have practiced a non precision approach in good weather rather than wait to do it for real in poor weather.

BAW97A has done a U turn and appears to be heading back to LHR. It's a Houston bound flight

FOG 800m at ORK and worsening. It's only a temporary forecast though so it may be patchy fog.

Kilrush Lifeboat reporting that they were on standby for the Aeromexico, is thus standard procedure?

Fog at Cork 150m visibility, which is too low to legally make an approach. Next arrival is in 28 minutes.

Is the ILS still out of operation or was it just the calibration that day? Any idea of the RVRs?

I'd imagine it was only for that day and its working today, can anyone confirm?

Also my app Aero Weather doesn't provide RVR's afaik.

Yes in the event of a ditching all assets would be called on, if you get them ready you are saving valuable time if the transit is long.

Fire on an aircraft is VERY serious as such this emergency would have been taken very seriously.
