VH-EBL would have been the aircraft.

Anyone got any detail as to the cause?

As of last night EBL was still at PER parked near the International term for all to see with the distinctive ONEWORLD logo..............

I think you have answered your own question Arthur.

If it is still in Perth then the engineers are still looking for the defect.

I believe it was an issue with the rudder.

VH-EBL is in Singapore today, after operating QF77. It looks like it'll be on that rotation for two days (while another B744 operates the QF71/72).
