Footage shows a plane making a bumpy landing due to Storm Kathleen – as flights are cancelled across the UK due to strong winds. <br/><br/>The plane can be seen being buffeted about by strong winds as it comes in to land.<br/><br/>The video, taken by Kay Thompson, 33, at Leeds Bradford Airport yesterday afternoon (Sat 6 April), shows the plane wobbling in crosswinds as it struggles to make it to the runway.<br/><br/>Storm Kathleen has bought winds of up to 60mph across the UK, particularly across the West. <br/><br/>Flights were left grounded and up to 34,000 people were left without power on Saturday due to the storm.<br/><br/>Kay, from Leeds, said: “Obviously there were really strong winds, and I just noticed the planes were coming in sideways. <br/><br/>“We usually go [to the airport] when it’s windy because we like to see if there’s going to be any go-arounds. <br/><br/>“A go-around is basically where they almost touch down but can’t land safely so take off again – it only happens in really bad weather. <br/><br/>“It’s the highest airport in the UK which is good for planes taking off but causes a lot of problems when it’s windy because it’s so high up.”
