So we've got Dudley today and tomorrow and Eunice on Friday so thought I'd start a thread. Dudley has barely hit here in Edinburgh and already there's a flight from LHR struggling to land.

@CaveMum

We're going to need a new thread soon!

36,000 people watching on YouTube apparently - most of them from Mumsnet!

🤣🤣. I'll make a new one once or get close to 950. Not sure how to link though from my phone.

This guy on big jet is having the best day of his life

Sf was so nearly down

I wonder where they are going to divert to, if they have to. Eunice will go towards "the continent" next, German radio station I listen to has warnings out all the time.

Can we all have a communal cheer and clap when a plane does actually manage to land?

ErrolTheDragon · 18/02/2022 10:57

Pilot types - do you take more of a risk when it's third and final attempt or is it all determined by the automation?

Ocsetldil · 18/02/2022 10:58

Budapest!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

@Pthagonal

I can't believe that Paris to Bristol flight is going around again!
I'm watching this too, my local airport. Those poor people 😬 must be so bumpy up there
CaveMum · 18/02/2022 10:58

Flight from Miami coming in.

EduCated · 18/02/2022 10:58

Well done that pilot!

wonderstuff · 18/02/2022 10:58

These pilots are definitely earning their money today! Must be so stressful

Just holding for now, possibly waiting for a break in the gusts. Budapest got lucky then the guy on big jet said it went still as it came in

What is Paris Bristol gonna do?!

EduCated · 18/02/2022 10:59

Where did Vienna go? Lost track of who’s where!

Crikey! I was last on the thread on Tuesday when there were a few of us watching the Tenerife flight trying to get into Leeds (eventually ending up in Birmingham). This is what happens when you take your eye off the ball!

Pennox · 18/02/2022 11:00

why do some abort early (wind shear?) and some have a go?

This is fascinating btw pilots of MN!

ErrolTheDragon · 18/02/2022 11:01

And one from Miami failed

Ocsetldil · 18/02/2022 11:01

There is a helicopter in Richmond Park. How is that staying stable?
