Ryanair touchdown

Dramatic images show plane blown sideways as it comes into land in strong

 

This is the dramatic moment a plane was blown sideways as it came into land in strong winds yesterday.
  

 

A Ryanair plane from Limoges struggles with strong winds whilst touching down at Leeds Bradford Airport.

The Ryanair plane approached the runway head-on but was caught in a gust as it touched down and was sent veering to the right.

The incident, caught on camera at Leeds Bradford Airport, happened as much of Britain was battered by winds of between 40mph and 50mph yesterday. The stormy weather also caused delays to other flights due to take off from the West Yorkshire airport.

The strongest wind speed in the country on Thursday was in Wales, where gusts reached 70mph, the Met Office said.
