This amazing clip shows a brave pilot landing his flight while Storm Doris batters Manchester Airport...and even giving a cheeky wave afterwards.

The Monarch flight, travelling from Innsbruck, can be seen swooping into the airport in winds reaching speeds of 50mph.

Winds can be seen buffeting the flight from side to side.

The MON503 flight then dramatically dips and swerves, coming to a full stop with a bit of a bump.

It finally stabilises and continues down the runway.

Afterwards, the pilot can be seen waving enthusiastically to the M.E.N cameraman.

Capt. Simon Brown, Monarch Base Pilot Manager, Manchester & Leeds Bradford said: “This was a normal landing given the weather conditions today thanks to storm Doris.

"Landing in heavy winds is one of the many skills this Captain, who landed perfectly in the conditions today, and all of our pilots are highly trained in."

A spokeswoman from Manchester Airport said it remains operational, with landings and take-offs still taking place.

However, the weather is causing delays to arrivals and departures.

A number of flights have been unable to land and have diverted to Leeds, Heathrow and Glasgow.

On average, flights are delayed by about an hour.

Train services have also been disrupted due to trees obstructing the line and problems with overhead wires.

Virgin Trains services between Manchester Piccadilly and London Euston are running on reduced speeds of 50mph.

As a result a number of train services between the two stations have been cancelled.
