Arrived into MAN from LHR at about 20.30 this evening (13th) - some fairly ferocious crosswind gusts during takeoff and a really quite hair raising approach into MAN with many bumps inbetween - sufficiently unpleasant that the CC were suffering a little!
Roughest conditions I've experienced in nearly 5 years of commuting weekly to various European places by air, so looks like the folks up the front will be earning their money over the next couple of days
