Outside edge wear is not the normal pattern of wear on an Omega that needs wheel alignment sorting. I'm not saying that it won't help, if done properly, or that it won't make the car drive better, but the usual pattern of things as the suspension ages is that the camber becomes excessively negative and the inside edges wear.

Outside edges naturally wear a little due to hard cornering. I'd only say it's worth worrying about if the outside edge is an issue before the rest of the tyre has worn close to the limit.

Having said, that, if the suspension has been neglected, it wouldn't hurt, but check all the bushes and ball joints first and replace any that have degraded.

Thanks for that Kevin, I have just looked, and there isa lot of wear on the rest of the 2 tyres, just the outside edge, and I do not believe its been driven hard, as its been well serviced and looked after at no expense by the previous owner. I will get it looked at tho, in the next 2 weeks
