Video footage shows the hair-raising moment a Boeing 777 struggled to land at Heathrow Airport due to strong winds from Storm Gerrit.
A clip posted online shows the aircraft jolting above the runway in foggy and windy conditions before landing safely.
In the footage, filmed on Wednesday by BigJetTV, the cameraman can be heard begging the plane to stop as it bounces down on the runway.
Separate footage shared by Sky News shows an aircraft making three unsuccessful attempts to land in strong winds at Bristol Airport before eventually touching down.
It comes Storm Gerrit wreaked havoc on the travel network and left thousands of homes without power on Wednesday, with gusts of up to 80mph and heavy rain causing delays to rail services, ferries and flights.
British Airways cancelled 18 scheduled flights at Heathrow, including domestic trips to Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Some ScotRail services are being cancelled, delayed or revised on Thursday morning as flooding and road closures cause further travel chaos. Avanti West Coast services departing from London Euston will have extended journey times as they are diverted via the Midlands.
Ferry operator Red Funnel, which provides services between Southampton and Cowes on the Isle of Wight, cancelled its Red Jet passenger services due to strong winds.
Meanwhile, a “localised tornado” is believed to have caused “significant damage” to homes in Greater Manchester on Wednesday.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said officers were called to "numerous reports of significant damage" to homes in Stalybridge, Tameside, at around 11.45pm.
No injuries were reported but many residents were forced to leave their homes.
Chief Superintendent Mark Dexter from GMP said: “This incident has undoubtedly affected numerous people in the Stalybridge area with many residents displaced from their properties during the night.
“Our highest priority is keeping people safe which is why we are advising those who have been displaced not to return or enter their properties which have significant damage until they have been assessed by structural engineers.
“I would also like to urge members of the public to avoid the area where possible and take extra care when travelling in vehicles on the roads in Stalybridge and the surrounding areas, due to debris in the road.”
Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) said workers had been dealing with wind speeds of 80mph in some coastal areas as they worked to reconnect customers.
More than 14,000 people remained without power as of 7.45am on Thursday, according to SSEN Distribution.
Storm Gerrit also brought plenty of rain with the Great Langdale Valley in the Lake District recording 80mm – nearly half the usual 178mm monthly rainfall for December, the Met Office said.
