It is going to calm down come 5 or 6pm, the problem will be where they need the aircraft positioned for tomorrow, which in all likelihood will be Bristol. They´ll quite happily cancel flights if it puts them at a risk of not having the planes ready for a full day of service tomorrow.

Good luck man.

We’ll be sound. They did cancel a load but ours has just been delayed. I’m confident.

Very windy here on the coast near Westward Ho! Fences down, lots of power outages (ours ok at the Moment). Last 2 hours the worst. Should start to improve after lunch. All schools shut. Had to stay home to look after the kids today. The good news is that the trampoline is still in the garden.

Bloody fence down now. Bugger!

The flights that went to gate have now been delayed again so they’ve all come back to terminal and a new flight has been cancelled.

The atmosphere in the room is tense.

I’ve got another pint.

I lived in Surrey in 1987. That storm, though it effected less of the UK than this, was far, far worse than what we've had so far. Truly frightening. Never want to experience anything of that magnitude again.

We've had one roof tile off, bins over, trampoline over. So I had to go out and take the netting down on the trampoline and move it to the back of the garden and put some spare paving slabs on the feet of the trampoline. Also used paving slabs on the bins as well.

Not seen wind like it in years...apparently just over the water on the IoW, they've recorded the strongest gust ever in the UK, 122mph.

Seems to be calming down slightly.

Sometimes I wonder whether they just take a chance and as long as the pilot can get it down it's okay when really they shouldn't.

Every aircraft has their limits which are pretty strictly enforced. If it isn´t classified as safe they won´t attempt it.

The problems generally are with the gusts, which can be unpredictable. As we saw earlier, some planes make pretty alright landings, then at other times they have to go around. How close these aircraft come to those limits are down to the airline, pilots, and varying conditions at the moment of final approach. Factor available fuel left too, sometimes that has a part to play. Due to these variables, some airlines have better safety records than others, and some countries also.

It can look pretty terrifying and it is certainly uncomfortable at times, but those guys we saw landing at Heathrow know what they are doing.
