Thumbs up

Glad I asked! The driver of the 737, Ryanair EI-CNT, was certainly kept busy over the last couple of miles, enough to get the hen parties on board clucking a lot... But he put it down (a bit firmly!) bang on the numbers, so well done that man. The forecast wind was about 15 degrees off the runway heading, gusting to, I think, about 50 knots.
Seems there's a bit more to do in those big birds than we do in a PA28!
