Dramatic footage shows Flybe jet being blown around by 50mph winds as it lands at Leeds Bradford Airport

THIS is the terrifying moment a plane struggles to land in high winds as Storm Conor battered the UK on Boxing Day.

The video shows a tiny Flybe plane shaking and tilting as it approaches Leeds Bradford Airport before landing safely.

The jet was swaying from side to side as it flew in from Aberdeen to the west Yorkshire airport, which is considered to be very difficult to land at.

Storm Conor swept across the country just after Christmas, bringing high winds which reached up to 94mph in parts of Scotland.
