Aurigny Off Rwy @ Brs

Posts: n/a
Correction - I've just had a divert to BHX - RWY is being resurfaced and there's a slippy patch in the middle that my Captain mentioned is quite smooth and they had 'problems' controlling the aircraft on takeoff with the x-winds......It sounds like the Aurigny a/c hit this patch and exited stage left onto the grass!!
a/c moved off at around 1345 - airfield should be open soon - ATR-72 I think

Weather problems. Cross winds at Bristol and Gatwick are causing problems at both airfields, I surmise this was the cause of the ATR going farming at BRS.
It was interesting at Jer this AM 1000ft wind 210/40 surface wind 170/18 QNT30

The BBC (so it must be true...
) says the excursion happened while taxiing....I wonder if Bliar was onboard......

I landed at BRS tonight and it WAS pretty rough!!
I saw a (I think) My Travel 757 make a horrendous approach- it obviously got caught by a gust in the flare and 'wing-rocked' really badly. From my vantage point (in the staff car park) it could well have hit its No.2 engine or RH wing, it looked that low. It went around (thankfully)- did anyone else see it and has there been any further problems there? I trust it landed safely soon after.
