Arrived on the 16:10 from LGW - because there is no LTN - and just wanted to say that the ground staff standing in the rain to guide pax around the temporary barriers were brilliant. Good humoured in the pouring rain and strong wind.

Also, a big for the fabbo landing in G-MABR. I do not know how much the wind was across the beam but, as we crossed the threshold, it was obvious that we were crabbing. After a descent that was pretty bumpy, we floated along and the touch down was sooooo smooth and I could not sense the moment that he straigtened out. I guess that some of it would have been in the last 20 vertical feet and some of it in the first 20 horizontal feet! What a delight - it was so beautifully done that it just made me smile.
