A couple of years ago, we had really rough weather at Gatwick. The buffetting and turbulence as the aircraft made their descent was horrific and we were very close to having the airport closed. Many aircraft aborted landing twice and diverted. (Due to "diversionary" fuel restrictions, they are only allowed two attempts to land before committing themselves to divert.)
One aircraft from Marseille had already had one attempt and we watched from the end of the swaying jetty as she rocked her way down for the second attempt, wings swaying and rain streaming from her flaps! The downdraught caught her and slammed her down hard and the flight crew brought all their skill to bear to bring her back under control and ease her into our stand.
As the passenger disembarked, sheepishly depositing bulging "sick bags" into the plastic gash bag by the door, the crew turned to me and presented "Jamie - the 10 year old Unaccompanied Minor"
Wide-eyed and glowing with excitement, he exclaimed "Man! That was better than Alton Towers! ........and I didn't even have to pay for it!!!"
