Pilot makes ‘extraordinary’ Cessna landing in Storm Kathleen

Mr Wilkinson’s group had been flying back from a ski trip to Oslo, Norway.

The private flight was a gift from a friend to Mr Wilkinson, who has late stage prostate cancer.

“We call ourselves the Black Runners, rather ironically,” he added.

“We’ve been doing these trips together for 20 years, but this was more adrenaline-filled than anything we’ve ever done.”

It came as Storm Kathleen brought winds of up to 90mph to parts of Scotland.

About 140 flights at UK airports were cancelled on Saturday.

An Emirates A380 – the world’s largest passenger aircraft – from Dubai to Glasgow was forced to abort its landing twice and was diverted to London Gatwick.
