Video has emerged from Manchester Airport of a Flybe plane aborting its landing at the last moment as Storm Ophelia hit the UK and Ireland.

In the video, filmed on October 16, the plane appear to be about to touchdown on the runway before pilots have second thoughts.

Writes our filmer: "Flybe Embraer 175, upon landing at Manchester Airport, decided to go around and abort the landing, due to the excess winds from Storm Ophelia. it came back round about 10 minutes later and landed successfully."
