QF1508 also diverted to Canberra

[Rowan McKeever]

Indeed, and -YQS will be paying for it until around 11.30pm! Long day for you guys, Zac

[Zac M]

Yeah, it actually had a lightning strike so YQU took up 1508 and YQS went to 1550, in saying that because of the Sydney delays they ended up leaving at the same time!

Thanks Craig. It surprised me as I was driving along Canal Road just after 16.30 this afternoon. I though it was an IL76 buthis confirms it.

Cheers

The Gabon aircraft arrived late, parked at Dom-6. It's an ex-BA machine.

An IL-76 is parked near General Holmes Drive at Bay 74.
