An aeroplane flying from Scotland to Norwich was forced to abort its landing and divert to another airport amid strong storm winds.

Loganair flight LOG53H was on approach to the city airport following an hour-long journey when it was diverted around 6.15pm. 

Images from the flight-tracking website Flightradar show the aircraft circling the runway twice before peeling off and heading south towards London.

Incidents like these are commonplace, and so are occasions when planes have to circle airports many times for various reasons.

What would happen if a battery aircraft was low on power?
