So today was the day my parents returned from there holiday to Barcelona so I went up to meet them. Now then I thought to my self how can avoid paying to pick them up at the front of the airport??
The Answer being sit at on the road that leads to the freight village, so I go and park up and put the radio on and watch aircraft taking off and landing in the heavy winds. So at the allotted time I looked skyward to see EZY 6402 on approach to NCL coming in from the coast landing on runway 25. By Now I was up by the fence and I noticed that the aircraft as a little too far to the right than normal I could see the aircraft getting hit by the wind the pilot making corrections then all of a sudden I heard the plane increase power and head skywards again to go around again. This was a first for me so I was quite impressed his path was just the right of the runway as he powered away into the sky to come back around and land with out a problem.
Now after seeing that I headed for the terminal picked up the parents and took them for a stiff drink in the badger to calm there nerves lol.
According to them the crew did a great job keeping the Pax Informed of the situation so well done guys!!

Should have seen them coming in around the back, they were all over the place.
Did you see where there was a gas leak around the front? Aircraft were put into the hold while the gas was switched off.
yeh it looked rather hectic on approach. i didn’t see any leak mate but the FOD units were both down my end looking around allot.
