Thought I recognised that flight number vt

I can seriously empathise with you on that one .... Sounds pretty terrifying to me ....

I have to admit that after years of weekly flying, I am now on a much more ground-based job, and not missing it one bit

Actually, I now take the train (from Dublin to Cork) rather than endure the airports at both ends, and only have occasional leisure flights to get me above 1' altitude

This incident reminds me of an Aer Lingus flight into Cork from LHR where we encountered a wake vortex from a much larger aircraft (possibly a 747) which may have been passing the south coast of Ireland a few minutes earlier - not a nice experience

Anyway VT, glad that you are OK - would imagine that the adrenaline was flowing a bit for the next few hours
