Many thanks BOAC and Curious pax for your replies.
Much appreciated.Will keep trying for details of that flight.Can't find it
at the moment but seem to remember that it ended in disaster,which
I don't want to happen.
Just thinking that if you have your gear down,and flaps for landing,and
suddenly hit a vast headwind,you will suddenly lift very quickly.I would then presume the obvious choice would be to increase speed,retract flaps and undercarriage with a view to go around.However,from the limited details I have found,timing would not allow this,so I think I may leave this part out of the book,and concentrate on severe thunderstorms instead!
Thanks again.
