watching another plane make a failed attempt at landing at heathrow - if you have the flightradar 24 app pro it is amazing to watch

Many Easyjet flights are not even attempting final approach now. Must be hell for ATC and Ops!

xcweather has no gusts above 72mph yet and this was meant to be the worst spell... hope maybe?

Well I was wrong, it now looks like Newcastle. TOM607 which should have landed at Gatwick seems to be following.

Ha'way the lads
