I well remember a 360 flight to Guernesesy in or about 1986, it may have been AirUk and was from the old Stansted terminal. Weather was also nearly terminal but certainly marginal, wet and very windy. Our lady F/O took us up like a rocket and I remember the sewing-machine-like screech from the engines. Buffeting continued as we dodged through very black clouds. Right over central London with amazing views through deep shafts of clear air and sun light. Then the lightning flashed and we buzzed off like a bumble-bee. At Guernesey there was gusting wind and we were tossed around like a leaf in the autumn but they got us down in one piece. I got the impression that the 360 was one tough little babe and will never forget that flight experience.
