QF64 24hrs late - SA Rugby team on board
Just hearing reports that QF64 has returned to Jo'burg 2 hours into flight after the number 3 engine "failed" and overheated. Only reason this seems to be on the news is that the South African Rugby Union team are on board on their way for the tri-nations.
Still currently showing on FIDS as 2 hours late though.

Aircraft was VH-OJL. This aircraft turned back to Bangkok 2 months ago with engine problems, I wonder if this is at all related.

I was rather amused by the report on ABC news on-line.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-07-1...-scare/2797102 In particular the bit where it speaks about the players tweats, where two players tweated about loosing an engine at take off when the news report says it was shut down due to vibrations 2 hours into the flight. Guess the truth sounds a tad less melodramatic than reality.
