Anyone know why the qf 29 to LHR was diverted to MNL today?

You mean MEL to HKG ?

Obviously not quite as slow as the Fragrant Harbour ACMS!

Aircraft departed MNL about 0900 local and arrived in HKG at 1040 local. Departed HKG at 1200 local and arrived on blocks in LHR at 1752 UK time.

There is more to the diversion and the extended delay than just the fog but it ain't for this forum!
