VH-VUP was the other aircraft.

VH-VUR positioned MEL-HBA as VA9908 and will operate VA1321. VA1531 HBA-SYD has been cancelled.

VH-VUL operating this morning's VA702 BNE-HBA flew in a hold for quite some time while all of this was going on, presumably due to the lack of available parking spaces. A JQ snuck in while -VUL was holding, though... sly fox!

Meanwhile, VH-VUI was damaged in DRW overnight during an apparent runway excursion after being caught by a wind gust.

And just to share the love, QF2263 LDH-SYD was cancelled yesterday and it seems like the aircraft (VH-TQS) was u/s. Currently scheduled to ops back to SYD on one of today's flights (with an outbound SYD-LDH service having been cancelled).

(Ignore the flight number on FA)
Been a couple of interesting days all round with stricken aircraft causing headaches for small airports (not DRW obviously).
