QF B738 struck by lightning, possibly on approach YMML
All;
I am pax tonight on QF492, and we were just informed of a gate & a/c change due to the inbound flight being hit by lightning. I assume this is on approach to YMML and not out of YSSY as I would expect a Fuel Dump and return to origin if close enough, or possibly to an alternate.
I was able to see the engineering team looking over the a/c and they seemed to be showing considerable concern around the Radio Altimeter area on the underside of the fuselage.
Did no take too much notice of the inbound flight number or rego, but it was at gate 3. Obviously if any informatuion is forthcoming from members, that would be great.
