And an interesting situation yesterday... a disabled aircraft at DRW forced QF836 to divert to KNX where it (VZF) remained for something like 9.5 hours before continuing to DRW, with support of some description from VXU which positioned PER-KNX in the evening. QF849 was cancelled so that VZY, which had arrived in DRW as QF848, could take QF113 to SIN. Nothing major, just thought it was interesting!
