An interesting approach over the Golden Gate !!!
Dial up speed control - wouldn't we like that ?
Approaching Heathrow in an Aztec - many years ago - was asked to keep my speed up.
What would you like ?
The reply was " You have following aircraft 160 knots "
Fortunately it's downhill and leave the U/C up until in the long flare !
Surprisingly, how quickly we found the first runway exit.

Maybe I'm missing something, but why is he calling his call sign before the message not after ?
So 'foo super something something something', instead of 'something something something, foo super' ?

It's a Lufthansa 'thing'. They think it improves things, all it does is cause momentary confusion by breaking from the same format everyone else on the frequency is using.
