Amazing storm last night as curfew approached at 11pm. The final aircraft to land looked to be QF555, however on their final approach to Runway 07, the ILS failed and the QF555 crew reported lightening (not sure if they said they took a hit, or it was just near by). The outcome was a go around, initially a climb to 3000ft, then a track back to Brisbane as curfew had kicked in. Meanwhile one of the Air Ambulances was holding over Glenfield waiting for conditions to improve, and corporate jet VH-OCV was holding to the south east off the coast from Wollongong.
You have to love FlightRadar 24 and Live ATC to watch and listen to all the action in real time.
