This was the terrifying moment the pilot of an Aurigny Air Services flight from Guernsey to Birmingham’s BHX airport in England aborted their landing at the last second after increased crosswind gusts of 55mph hit the West Midlands airport on Monday (13 March).

Storm Larisa has continued to batter the country with strong winds.

The plane originally departed from Guernsey at approximately 11.30am and should have landed at 12.35pm but after aborting landing the aircraft simply turned around and went back to Guernsey, instead of trying again.

In another clip, a Loganair flight from the Isle of Man to Birmingham was rocked in all directions and when landing, the aircraft skidded along the runway from side to side as the strong winds buffeted the flight.
