BOAC would often operate extra flights when expat children were returning to school. I suspect that your flight was one of these. The flight number would have been the same, BA048.

Dysag

I can't remember any brake overheat problems but it's 35 years since I have flown a VC10. Perhaps BEagle could help, as he has more recent experience.
