Prince William came back to check everyone was OK and joked that the extreme turbulence (like a) was due to him flying the plane (he’s an experienced pilot). He also joked we could all go out for a night out in Lahore together! The @RoyalAirForce captain did a great job in

The @royalairforce plane carrying Prince William & Kate just had to abort its landing in Islamabad in a fierce storm
After much shaking around in the air, the RAF Voyager used for #royalvisitPakistan turned around and has just landed back in Lahore (where we started)

If I’m honest … that was the most nervous I’ve ever felt in a plane

Back on the tarmac in Lahore and time to refuel. Let’s hope the storm passes
