Now they are saying that it's "unrelated". But both were engine problems (though different models)! My take is that maintainance is the REAL issue.

Interesting that they are blaming (or at least trying to) RR for the 744 incident. I mean those birds have been flying with RR engines for some time now without much problems. Makes one wonder what the real issue with QF is? Many have been blaming the fact that QF have outsourced their maintenance works (was it to a Malaysian conpany or somthing like that?) but I am not sure how true that is.God must have been a ship owner, he placed the raw materials far from where they are needed and covered two-thirds of the earth with water...

Qantas QF29, a Boeing 747-400 powered by Rolls-Royce RB211 engines, had warning lights illuminated in the flight deck regarding a hydraulic malfunction. (Hydraulic systems are powered by engine-driven pumps). QF29 landed in LHR and was met with emergency equipment.Such a gentle way about you / All around the world / Wouldn't go away without you / Singapore Girl, you're a great way to fly

Read the last paragraph of this article:
http://www.theage.com.au/travel/trav...107-17ijt.html
"In a strange turn of events, Captain Champion de Crespigny, who has been hailed a hero, was a passenger on the Boeing flight that was also turned back"
Seems to me that the poor skipper's having a hard time getting out of Singapore........

According to this article, the Captain's name is Richard de Crespigny! Confusing
Apparently, the pax on the A380 blowout flight were in the 747 engine failure flight too! I wonder how they must have felt going through two engine failures on two flights in less than two days!Such a gentle way about you / All around the world / Wouldn't go away without you / Singapore Girl, you're a great way to fly

His name is Richard Champion de Crespigny. The Daily Hate Mail gets things wrong? Never been known to happen!
