    Quantas have confirmed that after the plane had landed, and the three remaining engines were switched off, there was still a loud whining coming from the aircraft.
    They have asked MF to leave the plane

      Grab a straw and suck it back up. Hope Oz is sunnier today? Are you staying in the city?
      Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

        It's peeing down again. Yesterday evening wasn't too bad - met Aussielong for a beer or three and sat outside - although jackets were required. Staying in Paddington, or Paddo as the locals call it - about 3 miles from the centre. Apparently the forecast for the next few weeks is tulipe.

          Bummer about the weather, but probably still much nicer than here. I think I stayed in Victoria for a bit, which was a bit of a dive.

          Why do Australians have to put an 'o' on the end of everything?

                Interesting.

                Interesting indeed.

                    Unlikely to be a compressor failure that would have damaged the nacelle and not the cowl. This is a turbine failure of some kind.
