Not sure if that's the aircraft in question, but as I was waiting for my flight at the international terminal I saw the -300 VH-EBW push back and started taxi, only to see her back at the gate shortly after when we were taxying out for our 16R departure. But it was about 2-3pm, not sure if related??

It appears to be one of the linkages broke and either the kruger flap retraced or didn't extend. Its a cast linkage, and it could have happened to any airline or any 747.
AJ if I remember correctly the VCF's (ANA 744) there are also linkages that are there to, and they are attached by nuts and bolts, which could have sheared off thus explaining why it is partly broken, and when retracted they are hidden away in the wing so no one would have seen it until a A check when the flaps are deployed and inspected. |
