Aparently caused by some sort of battery in that area. (avionics perhaps?) The battery is said to have completely failed.
At the time the aircraft was near Broken Hill and had initially seriously considered diverting into BHQ. Not too sure if the pavement would have survived the landing, but it would have been interesting should the decision have been made to go there. The smoke then abated and the situation was downgraded and the aircraft diverted to ADL.

Given that BHQ's main runway is 8251 feet am I assuming that this is enough for a 742 to land (as they would not have considered it otherwise) but is it enough to depart?

All I know at this stage.. would love to find out more.

Evening all,

the Southern Air (MH Cargo) N761SA which diverted in yesterday afternoon has just departed Adelaide bound for KUL as 'SOUTHERN AIR 6208'.

Hi all,

I am curious as to what happened that MH6208 didn't happen today, Saturday. I was at the airport from 0715 to 1740, and was disappointed that the expected Southern Air 74 did not appear.
Otherwise, I think I outsmarted the weather and had a great day!

Cheers John

According to the Sydney airport website it got cancelled and it was already delayed from friday to saturday I was dissapointed to not see it come in this morning too.

MH6207 is due at around 1855 tonight. it is being operated by a B743. I presume it would be N789SA.

Just got a text of Pete N758SA B747 c/n23138 ex NCA on approach.

Will then go onto MEL. So it will be a first visit for them as well.
