AN INSTRUCTOR WITH HIS STUDENT PLT WERE RETURNING FROM A CROSS-COUNTRY TRAINING FLT. THREE ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO COMPLETE AN ILS APPROACH IN HEAVY FOG TO THE ARPT. WITH EACH APPROACH THE INSTRUCTOR PARTIALLY LOST CONTROL OF THE ACFT AND THEN RECOVERED BUT ON THE THIRD APPROACH THE ACFT STRUCK THE GROUND BEFORE RECOVERY COULD BE EFFECTED. THE INSTRUCTOR COMPLAINED OF EXPERIENCING VERTIGO DURING THE LANDING APPROACHES.
