Travelled back on a Jet2.com flight from Dusseldorf to leeds tonight. very windy as we crabbed our way on the runway @ Leeds, which being on hill is well exposed to crosswinds.
As we finally landed and straightened up the runway, people started cheering & clapping - this is a new behaviour for me in Europe as I have only encountered before in the Far East on Korean or Japanese planes - the first time I was on Jumbo with 400 japananese tourists + me, who clapped and cheered when we took off form Singapore and landed at Djarkarta. It was very unnerving that
A) they all started and stopped clapping at the same time
B) What happens when the Captain doesn't make a text book landing - perhaps another Blogger will tell me
Any way I digress What happened to the British stiff upper lip ?!? a bit of a breeze off the port wing....pass the G&Ts and leave me to read my paper quietly !
