I know a couple of BHX staff who have an office on the 5th floor. They have shared some particularly hair-raising stories with me about landing attempts in high wind.

It is worse when from the SW and 33 is in use as the hangars cause windshear just at the point of touchdown. This can lead to some last second go-arounds!
