Its not called "Windy Wellington" for nothing!

Once landed a C206 there when the F27s and B737s were grounded because of the cross wind.

Muggins thinks "... not a problem, I'll just land diagonally across the runway ...", which I duly did!

And there I sat until assistance arrived to help me taxi off the runway. Every time I tried to turn the aeroplane, it was weather-cocked back into wind!

An interesting experience, to say the least!
