Judging by this video, BHX (Birmingham, England) is one of the worst airports to land
and take-off during the winter.
Just watch and hold on to your chair:
Some landing and take-off highlights in awkward wind conditions at BHX this winter
(a record winter for stormy conditions in the UK).
Note: The frequent flexing of the planes wings in response to the turbulence.
Of the five " missed approaches " shown, three diverted to other airports, two were
" go arounds " and landed successfully on second attempt.
