A guy called ABC radio in Brisbane today claiming that he was on a QF flight from Townsville to Brisbane yesterday and before take off a passenger alerted cabin crew to a bird (deceased) lodged in the flaps. I gather the aircraft returned to stand. The caller went on to say that the captain told passengers he had suspected a bird strike on landing, had checked the aircraft at the stand but found nothing. Evidently the bird was hidden from view when the flaps retracted after landing and became visible again from within the aircraft when they were deployed for take off.
