Livestream shows 'intense' plane landings at Heathrow Airport in extreme Storm Eunice wind

Thousands of people are watching live stream footage of planes land at Heathrow Airport during the challenging conditions of Storm Eunice.

Big Jet TV is set up at the international hub and is bringing viewers live coverage of planes taking off and landing during the storm, which is bringing strong winds to the whole of the UK.

Viewers have been on tenterhooks as huge planes come in to land at what looks like a sideways angle as pilots compensate for the wind.

Jerry Dyer, from the popular aviation channel which is streaming footage of landings at Heathrow airport, told BBC Radio 2:

“Right now, these conditions with 70mph gusting winds, it’s pretty intense.

“And what is great is you get to see the skill of the pilot and how they manage to handle it."

At Heathrow, British Airways cancelled at least 114 departures and 118 arrivals on Friday.

The airline also cancelled 24 departures and 26 arrivals at London City.

Wind forecasts for Nottingham have slightly dropped to highs of 57mph, according to the Met Office.

Gusts of 50mph are predicted for 1pm, before rising to 57mph at 2pm and dropping to 54mph at 3pm.
