As an addition to the above....

I'm now running at three.

Two of them last month!

Both very well handled by the crews involved...

A nice tour of Southampton water due to a discontinued
approach, apparantly due to ATC vectoring us in high??? Humm???

Then, the rollercoaster into Manchester on the 28th, now that
WAS spectacular! We were actually informed before leaving
Munich that Manchester was bumpy, but...

All the way in and a VERY low go around / touch and go.
I'm not bad as a flyer, having got over a fear of flying a
few years ago, however, thinking we were down, then, off
and round again was actually quite draining, knowing we've
got to do the last 10 minutes again.

Kudos to the EZY crew first, then captain for a very reassuring
and detailed explanation not only of what had happened (Windshear)
but also, how the second approach pattern would work.

I did think I'd get another into SOU last week as well, but, everything
calmed down in the last 2 minutes.
