[ACARS] QF0063's oil leak

[David Triggs]

Hi List,

Came across this rather interesting series of messages which I have 
spliced together. QF63 flies Sydney - Jo'burg, but landed here in Perth 
the other day. They sometimes do this as a tech stop for fuel if the 
head winds are particularly strong, I once heard a headwind of 140 Kt.!

Anyway have a look at this, look at the figures for Eng 1.
