Pilot's 'extraordinary' landing in 50mph Storm Kathleen winds

A plane passenger has told how his pilot made an "extraordinary" landing in a tiny Cessna aircraft at Edinburgh Airport during Storm Kathleen.

Gary Wilkinson captured footage of the nail-biting approach from behind the cockpit of the chartered VistaJet plane.

Mr Wilkinson, from Dunfermline, and five friends were the only passengers on board as it landed in 50mph (80 km/h) winds at 13:40 BST on Saturday.

It came as Storm Kathleen brought winds of up to 90mph to parts of Scotland.

He said: "At about 100 miles out one of the pilots warned us that it might be a bit windy - and we’d be at the very limits of the plane to land.

"It was all down to the skill of the pilots. It was extraordinary."

Mr Wilkinson's group had been flying back from a ski trip to Oslo, Norway.

About 140 flights at UK airports were cancelled on Saturday.
