My mum was on that flight. supposedly they all heard bangs from the engine during climbout and the captain elected to return to LHR.

Logistical nightmare for CX tho having to put up all these people in hotels.
She said that they have been split between CX252 and QF30 departing at lunchtime today.

Any ideas on what will happen to the aircraft, I believe to be B-HXI?
Will it fly back empty as CX now have a spare aircraft in LHR, albeit broken atm...
