The Canberra Times is reporting QF2225 a Dash 8-300 Sydney to Wagga service diverted to Canberra today with smoke in the cockpit. The pilots have been transported to hospital by ambulance. The rest of the passengers and crew are uninjured and deplaned by the stairs. They were later flown on to Wagga by another service.

QF2225 diverted to Canberra today as per the above... can't find the rego of either the diverted aircraft or the one used to continue the flight.

VH-SBG was the incident aircraft, I believe VH-SCE was used to continue the flight, it was operating the 1419/1422 rotation which has a long layover at CBR, 1422 was cancelled.

Can't get the rego

Noticed the aircraft flying over Canberra today different from the normal approach pattern, must have done a go-around
