Almost as dramatic as the "Plane appears to move in strong winds at Glasgow Airport" video on the Daily Mail website. To spare the blood pressure of anyone with a nervous disposition I shan't post the link.

It's been a bit windy around the UK today and there's been loads of go-arounds. The video is terrible and totally uninteresting but with loads of barbed-wire thrown in for good measure.

It has happened Dave. When the newer Airbus jets came in, one went around at Heathrow and when I asked him why he said: "The aeroplane did it, not us!" I believe a Tri-Star did it at Gatwick too!

Interesting Mr Director.
An excitable mate of mine has always claimed that when he was involved in a GA at Heathrow some years back the pilot came on said that they had been testing the autoland system and it had decided something was amiss, but not to worry he would do the next landing himself as he wanted to get home.
I've always thought it bit unlikely but now I'm wondering!

Didn't Gerry Rafferty sing a song about go-arounds?
