<a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/tags/airplanes/" target="_blank">Plane</a> enthusiasts have caught on video the moment an A350 Cathay Pacific jet from <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/tags/hong-kong/" target="_blank">Hong Kong</a> to <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/tags/heathrow" target="_blank">Heathrow</a> struggled to land at the <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/tags/london/" target="_blank">London</a> airport at the weekend. As thunderstorms and “unusual” winds of up to 72kph hit the capital on Saturday, the plane had a touch-and-go landing at the busy airport. Strong winds sent the 230-tonne plane all over the runway as the pilot wrestled to land. It eventually hit the tarmac on one tyre before bouncing on to the other. The plane then unsteadily straightened up before taxiing to the airport gates. Onlookers filming the landing for Big Jet TV described it as "a real battle between pilot and machine to get that thing straightened up with the rudder – pilot won it."
