What happened to QF10?

[nathanxu]

I just noticed today's QF 10 arriving from London is suffering over 12 hours delay. I believe this is at least second or third time a delay over 12 hours occurred to this flight in the past 2 weeks. Is anyone on or know anyone on any of those flights? What happened?

OJD had a run in with a truck at LHR on the weekend, and is unserviceable.

A QF A380 is stuck in London needing some repairs to a damaged engine after an airport truck struck it. So they are one A380 down and are turning around one of the morning arrivals each morning to operate the previous night's QF10 with around a 12 hours delay. This is lilely to continue until the damanges aircraft is able to return to service.

Are repairs likely to extend until May?
