AW109 G-EMHN Taking off in bad weather at Newcastle Airport
Not a pretty day do be flying a helicopter, skip to 2.40 minutes in the video to see the 109 taking off.
A video showed how planes and helicopters navigated strong winds at Newcastle Airport yesterday, with one helicopter blown sideways as the pilot attempted a take off during Storm Atiyah which brought 80mph winds.

Ah the Daily Grail!!
Couldn't find anywhere that EGNT ever experienced 80 MPH winds yesterday.
40 knots is only about 46 MPH - nearly an exaggeration of 100% !!
Nothing to see here. Average day for a lot of people.
Current type cant be started or stopped above 50 knots is my first limitation. After that there are no more that I can see. Its only wind.

Typical Daily Mail - no story there at all, just a bunch of pilots doing their jobs well.

Nothing too exciting; even the birds weren’t walking.
