Hello everyone.
Thank you for all of your replies. When I am up there again, which will be unfortunately for me, and the flight attendants where I locate myself, too soon, I will try and comfort myself with your re-assuring words.
BrumBrum, can I just check with you, would you describe the wind conditions as having been good or bad on Monday morning. In other words could it have been a lot worse?
Thanks again one and all.
