Not sure if its been posted here but the Sun has an article about the Virgin jet committing to the approach, as they only had 800kg of fuel on board and could not do a go around.
I read somewhere (can't remember exactly where, one of the newspapers I think) that they had actually dumped fuel, otherwise they were too heavy to land at Mildura.
