On a very wet day and a wet strip in weather that was not exactly VFR!
Does this look wet to you?
Anna Lisa Balding, wife of Here Comes When trainer Andrew, was on board the plane as it landed.
She said: "Our pilot did an amazing job in really bad weather conditions. I don't know what happened, I am no pilot, But I know I saw my life slip away from me very quickly. But we are all alive, it was a bit scary.
"I'm going to try and get home safely. I will be going in the lorry. But when you have a winner you don't mind how you get home."
