What's your source for this info?
The info I have is that QF29 dep HKG 22 min late (08:22) and arrived at LHR 29 min late (13:59)
I don't think that dropping 7 mins on a 13h30 sector is classed as an emergency

Olivia will probably suggest:
" it's a new initiative to boost on time arrivals so that the a/c can be turned around more quickly enabling it get back to Avalon during day shift so that we do not have to pay those horrible Australian engineers any overtime"
or
" it's total speculation that it was a Qantas plane.....there are lots of planes landing at Heathrow with red tails.....
(no wonder Joe Hockey was glad to see her move on)
AT
disclaimer: no pilots were harmed in the making of this media release

QF 29 declared emergency landing into lhr in order to receive priority landing clearance due to hydraulic failure
Ummmmm.
Sounds suspiciously like a recent sim exercise.
Maybe the media even report on them now!
(Scene: The terminal coffee shop:
Pilot 1: Yeah did it yesterday. We had a HYD PRESS SYS 1 message going into LHR.
Pilot 2: Wadidja do?....
And you can read about the rest in this morning's paper....)

Qantas keeps making headlines – Plane Talking
"a routine warning light indication of a hydraulic malfunction on QF29, another Boeing 744, as it approached London Heathrow, where it was met by emergency equipment in a standard response and which was not needed"
I suppose at QANTAS malfunctions are becoming routine.......

Also VH-OJU copped a bird strike out of JHB today. The leprechaun must feel like he killed a Chinaman. Even Dixon didn't have this much bad luck in so short a time. When it rains, it pours.
