I believe many years ago the hangars at LGW, were called 'BCALS revenge'or something similar - they can induce an interesting sensation prior to touching down in this WX .

Has anyone previous/current experience of similar conditions flying into GIB ,or the original Funchal airport (v short runway on the side of a rock,suspended either end, with sheer drops onto more rocks) - had many go-arounds at both in wintertime in the past .. .Excellent flying by the guys up front always got us in though - just - !
