You should try flying into Bristol Airport when it's a bit breezy !

Bristol is better now they extended the runway a bit.

previous to that is was like landing on an aircraft carrier

"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking... They say any landing you can walk away from is a good landing... however all I can say is that I am pleased I wore my Brown pants today."

Try Genoa City Airport in the Winter! I was working over there in the 80s and getting a flight home for Christmas. The weather was so bad that the only airline that landed (and took off) was British.

But have you ever done that? I did in a sea king which was lairy enough, but better than landing on the back of a frigate in a significant sea swell…(I wasn’t the pilot tho…)

Stopped flying from Leeds years ago after shocking cross winds gave us a desperately worrying landing. Has a reputation for being a very windy space and it’s been Newcastle for us ever since. Saying that today would have been a shocking day for anybody flying out of the UK.
