A British Airways plane is thought to have made the fastest ever flight by a conventional airliner from New York to London.
As Ciara's high winds blew into Britain on Sunday morning, the pilot managed to shave an improbable 102 minutes off its scheduled flight time.
The Boeing 747-436 was due to land at London's Heathrow Airport at 6.25am but arrived at 4.43am, having completed the 3,500-mile transatlantic journey in just four hours and 56 minutes.
