So had a quick business trip today from EGTK (Oxford) to Leeds (EGNM). In my experience, Leeds always has a howling crosswind and today was no exception.

Coupled with a 45 degree left roll on short final it was a fun landing. Unclear if that was just wind or wake turbulence.
Departing Oxford:
Over random part of Midlands at FL180

Nice pics. Always X winds at EGNM. To get a good length Rwy it had to be orientated as is. It should be more EW but for one reason or another (historic) it wouldn’t fit.
Great pictures, especially the evening shots.
Absolutely stunning picures.
perfekt Pics!
Isn’t the sky at night magical!
Thanks for sharing.

What you call short final I wouldn’t even dare to call long final
The twilight pictures are great!
