My GVA got away about an hour late. There were about five cancellations I noticed on the boards today, a Milan, a Copenhagen, a Stockholm, and an Edinburgh are ones I recall.
They switched runways as usual at 3pm. I know, because we were taxiing out to 27L and then made a switch by the hangers across to 27R. We were about fifth off from 27R.
Incidentally, when calculating the crosswind component is it the expected wind speeds that matter, or the gusts?

The wind was buffeting our windows enough to keep me awake from about 3am. I spent part of the time wondering if my 8am LHR-EDI would fly or if I should head in to try and join the 6.20am. After finally rising at 6am I checked flight status expecting to see a cancellation or two already in on the route due to the 40MPH winds that BBC was forecasting until 10am., but none to be seen at that time and looking at overall ops now I'm surprised it didn't have more of an impact. I'll try and get a bit more sleep next time .
It was a slightly wobblier flight that normal at each end, and some turbulance bad enough to halt my tea consumption for a while
