Looks like QF1... interesting also to see the load factor - 271 of a minimum of 450 seats occupied. QF1D looks set to depart at 8:00am, with an arrival time into SIN of 1:05pm, departure at 2:30pm, and an arrival into LHR of 8:45pm on Thursday. Unable to see the operating A/C type for tomorrow's flight at the moment. :)

A QANTAS A380 was forced to make an emergency landing at Sydney Airport Wednesday night after reports of smoke in the cabin. The plane, which took off from Sydney bound for Singapore at 5.25pm, was about 30 minutes into the flight when the captain made the decision to turn back.

Everyone would have a shadow on that flight.
 
Qantas thought the issue serious enough to warrant a different plane running the delayed service, which is good.
