A Flybe plane from Edinburgh to Amsterdam has crashed at Schiphol Airport amid high winds.

Storm Doris has caused disruption across many airports today as winds of up to 100 miles-per-hour hit British and Dutch coasts.

London Heathrow today cancelled ten per cent of flights in and out of the airport and Schiphol cancelled 90 due to strong winds.

A video has been posted online showing a FlyBe Dash 8 propeller plane with a collapsed right landing gear on approach to the airport.
