Qantas Airways will change two Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines on its A380 aircraft as a result of ongoing inspections following the fleet's grounding on Thursday.
#3 on -OQC (currently at Sydney) and one of the 380s stuck at LAX.

The BA 777 (YMME) which operated the QF10 to Singapore turned around and operated the Saturday night depature of QF31 back to Heathrow. I understand that BA are expecting to operate the Sunday night QF10 ex LHR as well.

Saw on news bulletins-as you all did- video of the take off etc. Thought passengers weren't allowed to use unless aircraft at cruising levels.

Might get my video out in future. Last time I used was circling Hong Kong waiting to land at old Kai Tak in a typhoon

QF31 is meant to be VH-OEF as far as i'm aware.

I noticed OQC on PP also Laurent; might just being towed around but certainly moving.

Will have to wait and see as no announcement on the evening news about A380's.

OEF only landed very recently from Buenos so will take a while to turn around!

qf31 not due to depart until 7.50pm tonight , looks like they might use the 744 - these teething problems that Qantas had with the A380 have turned out to require Root Canal Therapy ouch !

Can anyone confirm if there is more than one QF A380 (OQC) in Sydney?

On another forum we can account for at least 4 but a bit of confusion regarding OQE & OQF (my SBS log has them both here but it may have missed one (or two) departures since the 4th Nov).

Thanks

Various sources have -OQD, -OQE and -OQF as in LAX. I think 1-2 of them were already enroute to LAX when -OQA suffered it's mishap.

Also it looks like -OJG and -OEH are the both at AVV. All other B744's in the QF fleet appear to be 'active', apart from the stored/withdrawn ones.

Also as a side note, would anyone know how many spare A380 engines QF has on hand?
