Doha second attempt 🤞

AlphaAlpha · 18/02/2022 12:30

Doha flight just aborted landing LHR

Thesearmsofmine · 18/02/2022 12:30

I thought Doha was going to managed for a second

TomAllenWife · 18/02/2022 12:31

Our flight is on its way from Malaga to Bristol

Everything before us appears to be delayed, ours showing only 20 mins delay

Luckily I've got some supplies

TAP going round. Ryanair behind it on its 2nd go

Longdistance · 18/02/2022 12:32

The DOH-LHR has had to abort its second landing. Another go around for the 380.

Namechangeagain84 · 18/02/2022 12:32

That looked hairy.
Channel 4 news wanting to interview the man.
Bet these news channels are grateful for his live stream!

Thesearmsofmine · 18/02/2022 12:32

Did he say Channel 4 news is there now?

fromdownwest · 18/02/2022 12:32

VA A350 - Perfect approach and Crab.

comfortablyfrumpy · 18/02/2022 12:33

Argh Doha.

Virgin looked pretty good.

So funny hearing Channel 4 trying to get to BigJet fellow.

CaveMum · 18/02/2022 12:33

Channel 4 are going to climb the fence to interview Jerry!

EduCated · 18/02/2022 12:33

Larnaca still holding the pattern out East, they’ve been gone a while.

FlibbertyGiblets · 18/02/2022 12:34

@Thesearmsofmine

Gerry is great, I love people like this, he obviously loves it and it makes it a more interesting watch.
He is ace, just overflowing with high spirits. A joy in these sanitised, carefully curated news times.
elisenbrunnen · 18/02/2022 12:35

I actually heard the Ryanair go round before I saw it on Flightradar!

UsernameIsNotAvailableRightNow · 18/02/2022 12:35

This bloke reminds me of Greg from master chef. Love him!

fromdownwest · 18/02/2022 12:37

Swing on that!

liveforsummer · 18/02/2022 12:37

Has Qatar tried to land a second time? Most inconvenient time for dc to need fed 🙄😆

RampantIvy · 18/02/2022 12:37

I don't know if anyone has asked this before, but why are pilots setting off to come here to land in a red warning for wind area in the first place?

So many flights to land at Gatwick have been aborted. I have been listening to Simon Calder on the radio, and the Bordeaux passengers are going back to Bordeaux. Another flight has landed in Zurich.

Livelifeinthebuslane · 18/02/2022 12:37

Yay, KUN BRS down in Birmingham. Not too far home to Bristol!

timeschanging · 18/02/2022 12:38

Qatar coming back in now!

He has done a great job, hats off to him, but I know more than a few really Hmm at some of his comments, especially when he starts commenting on the performance of people flying aircraft who probably have thousands of hours at the controls or worse still when he starts to claim he might have been able to do better…..
Malbecfan · 18/02/2022 12:38

Have to admit I'm a fan and a member. Really like Jerry's enthusiasm and all around craziness. In the last 10 days he's been in Seattle, Heathrow, Amsterdam and back to Heathrow. Having watched other aviation channels, his camera work is 2nd to none.

elisenbrunnen · 18/02/2022 12:38

And the following easyjet go round.
Looks like TAP is diverting.

FleeceNavidadFromTheSheep · 18/02/2022 12:39

Where is the Qatar going? Will he try LHR again?

SpottyStripyDuvet · 18/02/2022 12:40

Looks like 2 easyjet flights coming into Bristol. One just pulled put of first attempt to land, second one about to try!
