When the GIB Air (BA) Airbus did a go around a week back in Gibraltar he was VFR having come round the rock-and at 100 feet it all went "pear shaped" due to cross wind at 17 knots and executed a straight ahead climb to 3,000 ft maintaining full visual contact and right turn round the rock to try again, exclaiming his limit is 15 knots cross the runway! Never bothered the sturdy 757 of Monarch following. He simply planted the aircraft on solid ground and hit full reverse thrust and kept it straight!!
