QF 25 air return AKL 19 Feb
Hearing stories that the QF 25 MEL-AKL-LAX had a double air return yesterday due to an engine fire warning fault, dual loop failure I guess.
That would equate to some serious amount of jettisoned fuel.
Any further?

Yeap, apparently left on time, got airborne and had fire warning eng no. ?, returned to AKL, and departed again about 0320, only to get airborne and have the same problem again
. QF26 from LAX arrived and returned back to LA, I believe MEL-AKL-MEL was cancelled, and the a/c was ferried to SYD.
I don't know how the crew was managed to be able to do this. I guess the AKLMEL crew went to LAX!
Main problem in AKL (and SYD I assume) is numerous cruise ships have been in town and most hotels are completely full, would make it interesting to cancel a flight with 400 pax needing accomodation!
