My 9.30 flight left Glasgow on time despite the gale force winds that have been blowing for hours.  The worst of the weather has passed by the time we left and the flight was a little bumpy. As we approached Gatwick the winds picked up because the low pressure system was still causing problems in the south. We tried to land twice and got as low as 500 feet before the pilot sank the welly and climbed out of trouble. Apparently the plane had detected wind shear and so it was impossible to land. 
We are now on our way to Manchester and should arrive in about 20 mins and at this stage I’m not too sure what will happen in regards to my connecting flight to Venice which will have left London by the time we reach Manchester.
So at this stage I have no idea if I will arrive in Venice this evening but I hope the airline can sort something out and get me there tonight.
