I was at a fly-in to an RAF base last week, which included a tour of their 
tower. Interestingly, they still do radar-guidance (I forget the official term) 
where the controller provides instructions to the pilot to bring them to the 
center-line and appropriate glideslope to the runway - "Left two degrees, 
slightly high...", and the guides them all the way down to decision height.

For this they had two radar displays, one showing the horizontal track and one 
showing the vertical, with an external center-line and glideslope marked on the 
display.

I got the chance to try this out on their Tornado simulator, and it worked 
pretty well. I even got a nice print-out of my track afterwards :)
