Until the AAIB come out with what cause made the aircraft to do some farming we should not speculate.
Frome the pictures I have seen there might be some un reported gusts involved but I am not a met man.
So we should wait until the official report come out and see if certain ideas were correct?

A met man you certainly are not, but I shall ask anyway, why do you think that only gusts are capable of affecting an a/c?
It was a FCA 757 that nearly hit the wing when it got caught by some nasty gusts. I was at the holding point and thought they had it. I have never seen such a near miss in all my years of flying. Flight deck did a fantastic job holding it together and getting it to climb. They tried a second approach but about 4 miles out when they received the current wind check they decided to divert, good call.

No I was not refering ATC not giving gusts.
The ATR72 especially in a cross wind can be a hand full with a combination of things, like the narrow track undercarriage and the narrow wing it has
If the reverse was used on landing and little braking due to a possible wet runway? the nose wheel stearring would not be as effective as a normal day landing from what I understand so one would require braking to keep weight on the nose wheel.
When the aircraft is parked on the apron on a windy day the aircraft bounces around like a roller coaster this is due to the undercarriage configureation.
Until the report comes out it is all speculation from the not so expert ones

There is nothing that can be added here that is not already on the thread in R&N and this one is unsuitable to be merged there now.
So for good order and good housekeeping this thread is now closed.
Happy New Year
