DozyWannabe:
the (QF32) crew elected to stay in the air for an hour or two
They were well above max ldg weight (mass), had no flaps, and only one t/r. Had to burn off a bunch of Jet-A to have a prayer of a successful landing.

On the other hand their left wing was leaking like mad, leading to limited roll authority!
