Sometimes we forget how tough a job pilots actually have.
As Storm Eleanor ravaged across Ireland and the UK yesterday, many flights were delayed or cancelled but a fortunate (or unfortunate, depending on your viewpoint) few managed to reach their destination despite the high winds, although it wasn't exactly a drama free flight.
Graham Kirk was flying from Edinburgh to London City Airport when the pilot had to abort their landing at the last minute, and he caught the moment on camera.
Kirk accompanied the video with the tweet: "LCY: where each flight today comes with a free rollercoaster ride. Very sporting go-around on today’s BA8705 from EDI. Someone buy that captain a beer!"
