I was en route to DUB last night. The winds aloft were unexceptional, so I can't see that was a factor.
A handful of airfields that we checked weather for in NE France were not all that nice as I recall.
The wx in DUB:
260/15 on landing
CAVOK
16 degrees
1015 QNH
Landing runway 16, with a healthy x wind and stealthy tail wind (not described on the ATIS!) dying sub 100 feet made for an interesting ride, but I can't see that any of the conditions at DUB would have affected the FR flight.
I am sure tha A/C commander weighed up the options. He made the right choice in my opinion, because everyone walked away.
We landed at 2305z, so there you have some info as to DUB last night....may the debate continue!
