Storm Gertrude

I flew ABZ > KOI on Friday morning (BE6832) and it was pretty blowy to the point where it was actually quite difficult to walk from the plane to the terminal building after we landed. The chat was the wind was blowing around 75mph.

Coming back KOI > ABZ on Saturday (BE6835) and just for a change, a lovely crosswind component on the go in Aberdeen. Again though, pretty blowy.

So...

On the off-chance that either of the crews are reading this (or anyone knows them) just how bad was the weather on Fri/ Sat on a scale of 1 to 10?

There have been a few stories on here recently with some incidents involving Loganair, so I just wanted to say that I was very impressed with them and in particular the skill of the pilots. They got us there and back on time despite the weather and made landing in what I thought were pretty challenging conditions look very easy.
