    Saw something a bit similar. Flying Heathrow to Jo'burg, when you looked out of one window there were 2 engines, when you looked out the other side there were 3 engines. They had strapped a spare one to the wing which had to be delivered to Frankfurt so we had a short stopover there (free orange juice, weee!)
    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        When we were flying back from Florida mid-Feb we encountered a huge storm over the Northwest American coast. There was a bit of turbulence and then the pilot said we'd have to go round it. The view of the storm at night, from above and to the side; the clouds in a huge circle, lit from underneath with lightning going through the centre was one of the most awe-inspiring things I've ever seen.

          About 6 weeks ago, just as we're coming into land, the pilot announces that it's going to be an instrument only landing, as there's thick fog at the airport. I did not find this reassuring.

          And then just a couple of weeks ago, plane comes into land, then pulls up at the last minute. The pilot announces that the fog was too thick for him to land - and that the plane didn't have the equipment for an instrument only landing. He did manage to land ten minutes later. I was unphased by the whole thing, thanks to 1.5l of airport beers and about 70cl of inflight wine.
