That commentary seems a tad inappropriate IMHO. Guy's enjoying himself WAY too much

Haha. Just listened to one landing. The guy is absolutely LOVING it!

Rather them than me. I'm not at all a nervous flier, but some of those landings look ****ing terrifying.

It turns out that Big jet Tv on a windy day is more addictive than many class A drugs. Planes getting within metres of the tarmac then nooooooo. That Lisbon plane got so close.

Just spent 20 mins watching that, thinking just one more, so moreish.

Our big old trees are being given a serious workout in front and back garden. Will be amazed if one or other doesn't lose a major limb

A big factor would be the direction of the runway. If they can't land due to strong cross winds, at one airport, they may be perfectly happy landing at an airport a few miles away, if the runway there is laid out in a different direction, meaning they with a headwind / tailwind rather than a cross wind.

Quite a few seem to be giving up....flight from Beirut had a couple of attempts but is now heading East over Dover. No easy option ATM - landings being aborted as far North as Manchester, EDI-LHR has turned around and gone back home etc

I've not got a lot of work done since [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] posted that!

Bins blowing everywhere in the Slarde. Dog still seems to want to go for a walk. No chance :lolol:

Ridge tile down already, landed on the patio table, smashing the glass top.

That's bad luck, but reminded me to move my car away from under the sloping roof. So every cloud...

A workmate staying in London has just messaged to say that all coaches back to Brighton have been cancelled now, so is trying to find a train - expect he will end up staying another night up there...?
