I was once "landed" at Luton on an MOD trooper flight from Germany. The landing was "more than positive", undoubtedly due to the strong crosswind. Some of the overhead lockers burst open and some oxygen masks self deployed. There were a few loud yells from some pax as the aircraft wagged its tail all the way to a standstill. I was sitting by the front port door, opposite one of the cabin crew and her face was an absolute picture! I did ask her if the co-pilot would be apologising and she just said "Be thankful we're still alive!" I asked if he often landed like that and she just raised her eyebrows!
