Default Incident in Merimbula
Heard on the way home a REX dash 8 was about to land at Merimbula on NSW south coast. All emergencey services were on hand. Apparently it had undercarridge problems from all reports. Any other news?

I can't see a Dash 8 in the REX fleet on their website? Could it have been Qantas Link or a different REX aircraft?

Definitely not QantasLink Gerard, Kieran's unfortunately got his aircraft types mixed up.
