Dash8capt - Apologies for my error. Yes, you're correct, Cobham Aviation Services are owned by Cobham PLC, a British company.
Cobham do operate only 4 RJ100's - as compared to operating 10 BAE146 variants.

If its going to Barrow Island you won't get any "we feared for our lives" comments... Just a bunch of pissed off rig workers who missed making it to the wet mess tonight.

Nor do any 146s operate on the Q/Link contract.
Now we have a big pprune argument when what I said to start with is correct.
Back on topic (engine fire).

I just hope all the crew are OK.
We always called NJI "interesting"... I was on the first flight of NJI (well, this incarnation of it) and it took us a few go's to get going.

Journalism
Channel 10 (Bris) ended their report on this incident with: "Damage to the aircraft is being assessed by firefighters".

What for their 4 mid strength beers?
If I hadn't of been made redundant that may very well have been me.
I was due to fly back today after some leave.
Now I miss out on claiming stress leave for nearly being killed!
Sorry about the quality as its a screen grab from a mobile phone video

The closest any of those passengers came to being killed was when they got on their cars to do battle with Perth hooligans, or just being bogans themselves. An engine fire is most certainly not a death sentence in this country in a transport category aircraft, even a 146.
The press are a bunch of uninformed twats!

More likely the number 4 bearing or the power turbine letting go. The sparklers are the secondary effect.
The droppit dunnies would have had a workout...l
The crew would be ill prepared because in the sim the b&st&&ds always fail No.1 or 4 !!

Dancingdog, hahaha, talk about reading! Where does you cut & paste say that the a/c concerned was one it operates for QF, all's it is, is a statement that Cobham op a/c on behalf of Qantaslink (as an aside I guess)?
