They were an Etihad Boeing 787-9 from Abu Dhabi, which instructed go around due to a preceding aircraft birdstrike; a Lufthansa Airbus A320-200 from Frankfurt due to a windshear warning; a Ryanair Boeing 737-800 from Faro due to windshear and a Ryanair/Buzz Boeing 737-800 from Prague due to windshear.
AviationUpclose said: "There were some absolutely spectacular moments.
"From the A380 battling both crosswinds and a torrential shower, an easyJet A320 that nearly landed off the left hand side of the runway (just look at the point of touchdown compared to the centreline), an exceptionally rocky approach from a TUI 737-800 in amazing sunlight and the pilots of the tiny Eastern Airways Jetstream 41 doing a fantastic job wrestling the gusts.
"There were four go arounds through the time I was there, three of which were quite early on the approach and one being pretty much right above me."
