Speaking of Q and maintenance etc.
I was on QF168 row 38 on both sectors starting out on Thursday this week and noticed a rather loud and unusual noise below and just behind me not long after TO. I thought it might have been as the slats were moving into the fully retracted position. My other thought was that it was possibly an electric hydraulic pump seizing. The flight proceeded to CNS with nothing said.
On the second sector there was a similar sound but not quite as abrupt or loud and I think it was just as the slats retracted.
It's normal to hear weird sounds on the ground and in the air, in the airbus, however, having some experience in the front and back of the 76, I have not heard that sound before.
Anyone heard similar sounds from the 76?
Cheers
