I dont know what specific aircraft, mainly Airbus i think, and no idea what year:

Spanair - Palma - McDonell Douglas (possible MD-80)
Airtours (about 4 times) - Palma - (poss A320/21)
Monarch - Tenerife to MAN - DC10
Air Atlanta - MAN to Tenerife - Lockheed Tristar
MyTravel - Palma, Faro - (again poss A320/21/30)
easyJet - Berlin Shonefeld to Liverpool - B737-700
Titan Airways - Liverpool to Berlin Schonefeld - B737-300 (the one with the black stars and moons livery)
Jet2 (about 6 times, all to Palma de Mallorca) - B737-300

Most flights have been to Palma, some were to Tenerife (the DC10 and Tristar, the Tristar got brought in because the DC10 to take us to Tenerife went tech), Titan was to Berlin, which was brought in because the easyJet aircraft to take us their went tech.

Most are from Leeds, a few from Manchester and the Titan was from Liverpool.

I will always remember the trainee co-pilot who tried to land our big MyTravel Airbus at Leeds in a strong crosswind... He kept faling below the glidepath and so had to keep increasing the throttle to get back up... This meant we were increasing in speed, as it seems he did not know that speedbrakes exist... so as we were approaching the runway we were going very, very quick... and as we crossed the runway threshold, the crosswind caught us as we touched down, and the speed made the plane bounce back up quite high whilst the crosswind blew it left... the left wing was about an inch from the ground... and people were screaming...he straightened it up but then threw it too far right... which meant we bounced on the right landing gear... the captain then took over and slammed us down before applying the the hardest braking I have ever witnessed... I nearly hit my head on the seat in front with the reverse thrust... we came to a stop near the end of the runway, and as we got off when we parked we could see even the cabin crew were shook up... the captain couldnt apologise enough, as could the co-pilot, and when we went to baggage reclaim, the cabin crew came through and we heard one say "that was the worst landing i've had for ages"... she was right!!

I am extremely suprised we didnt do a go around. Anyway, they did well to get it down safely in the end.

oh..... captaindude that reminds me.
In September 06 i was ariving back to Glasgow Airport on a Futura 737-800w (EI-DKD) at night. we were in line with the runway so our plane touched down and bounced up and went on the ground again. I don't no what caused it?
There was not any high wind.
Maybe the pilot made an error.

Sometimes this happens through a hard landing.
It can also happen if the tires are quite bouncy, as when they touch they will just bounce the plane back up.

Best landing I have had btw, was with Jet2 flying into palma... beautiful day, great views, unmatchable touchdown and great flight in general.
Shame the flight back was a bit rough, we took off in a huge thunderstorm and flew through it, was a bit bumpy to say the least!

i loved the scenary when i was landing in Faro on a My Travel A321........and the views of the beach and all the sandbanks, it was a great landing.
