Image 1 of 2 accepted. Are you sitting comfortably? The previous evening EZY2398 from Sharm El-Sheikh diverted from Luton to Stansted due to very stormy London weather. Flight EZY9006, positioned empty from Stansted to Luton, as seen here the morning after. ATC advised winds between 180-270 degrees, gusting up to 40kts (Runway 26). G-EZWN had already gone around once from further out on the approach, and on this 'landing' the starboard gear had already touched down. Respect to the pilot for not trying a 3rd time, returning to Stansted.

David Sullivan, you don't deploy "full flaps" in gusting winds. The more flaps you have the slower the landing speed (lowers stall speed) will be. Because of the fact that you are landing slower with more flaps, the slower response you get to correcting for wind issues. In weather like this, you land as close to no flaps as possible with a higher landing speed to increase your surface control. Pilot school 101.
Wow! It doesn't even look like he's got full flaps deployed either, which is something that can be utilized when dealing with very gusty winds like that. Man that is quite a catch to get a shot where there's that much bank angle while attempting to land. Great photo!
It is actually a positioning flight with no passengers
