As for the wet lease, MAN was not a planned destination. They turned around at LHR.
OK, I stand corrected but my question would be so what... none of them fell out of the sky so obviously whatever was done was done competently. I think Australian Engineers are very good and I know there have been problems in SIN (which QF don't use anymore, but funnily enough VA do and no one says peep about it). This thing that nothing done off shore can possibly be as well done as here is just a fallacy... there have been plenty of errors over the years by Australian engineers who are after all, human. Some of the constant bleating about safety makes one think the JFK assassination would be blamed on off shore maintenance if possible. Not saying you're saying that, just a general comment.
