Qf 19 - 6/9/10

Had a friend on the flight Sydney-Manila, reached around the level on Cairns when they experienced a problem and returned to Sydney. Latest news is that they will be leaving tonight on a different plane. Anyone know what happened?

Cheers

Channel 10 had some "breaking news" that possibly covered this. They said that the pilots of a QF flight (B763) returned to Sydney 3hrs into the flight when a warning light showed an anti skid brake issue and due to wet weather expected upon landing they returned to sunny Sydney.

They can't turn a trick lately. :confused:

Channel 10 news reported the pilots had an indication that the anti skid brakes werent working and that there were storms predicted for Manila. They were returning as a precaution.

More than happy to be corrected :D

Beat me to it Darren

Breaking News - gee, don't you love the drama!

VH-OGR was the affected aircraft - VH-OGU was the replacement.
