Another London bound Qantas A380 engine problem – Plane Talking

"A Qantas Airbus A380-800, registration VH-OQG performing flight QF-31 (scheduled dep Feb 23rd) from Singapore (Singapore) to London Heathrow,EN (UK), was enroute near Ashgabat (Turkmenistan) when the crew observed the engine oil quantity for engine #3 (Trent 972) reduce. The crew reduced the #3 thrust to idle, continued the flight to London crossing Europe at FL360 and landed safely in London about 5 hours later."
