Whilst reading FFF's contribution to this thread, I just wondered where would one want to go in a 150 if it was 30-50kts. on the deck ?
Doesn't that make it about 70kts. at 2000ft ?

For what its worth, I once came into LHR when it was blowing 40, gusting 57, about 10deg. off.
All the little ones ( Saab 340,SD 360, F27 etc.) all sensibly went back from whence they came.
I wouldn't want to do it again.
