The vast majority of my approaches from OSL seem to follow that pattern too, except when the wind is blowing in the "wrong" direction
It does afford some decent views if the cloud base is high enough. I have also noted that quite a lot of the time we seem to enter the Lambourne stack and be told by the captain/FO that we will have a 10 minute hold, only then seemingly to be cleared straight in (normally resulting in a rather hurried cabin readiness check).
