Morning

While Melbourne were delayed at Birmingham waiting for the storm to pass, Eccleshall had a slightly different experience. As the plane was over booked they were split into two groups. One group made it to schippol, the other almost made it. Due to the storm their aircraft had to make a last minute abort of the landing at schiphol while trying to land amongst some extreme turbulence. Just as they were about to land a huge gust took the aircraft ave sent it sideways. At this point the pilot throttled up the engines, and they diverted to brussels, where they stayed for a while before returning to Amsterdam.
There was a further wait for all of us at Schippol as the camp was holding scouts at the airport waiting for the storm to move on,
As a result we were late on site, and late getting the tents up.
The weather this morning is sunny and relatively calm. more later.
