An aeroplane flying from Scotland to Norwich was forced to abort its landing and divert to another airport amid strong storm winds.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loganair flight LOG53H was on approach to the city airport following an hour-long journey when it was diverted around 6.15pm. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Images from the flight-tracking website Flightradar show the aircraft circling the runway twice before peeling off and heading south towards London.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
