Aborted landing/missed approach at Birmingham Airport (BHX)

On the left side of the video is the missed approach to runway 33, on the right side is the successful landing about 12 minutes later. The plane is the same distance from the camera in the two views. Following this is the aborted landing with exaggerated contrast to show exactly when the engines are throttled up. I don't know why the landing was aborted, but there was a gusty north-easterly crosswind that day and the plane clearly rocks a bit. The plane also looks to be quite a bit higher on the aborted landing. Anyway, from the moment thrust was re-applied everything went perfectly.
