Nothing wrong with the Foxbat, a very reliable and robust aircraft ? Later reports say fuel starvation and a spluttering engine etc.

That looks looks like one of my standard arrivals!
Luckily they stall pretty darn slow or it may have been a very different outcome.

It seems that it is fuel supply related. The same aircraft has had 2 previously reported incidents regarding fuel issues that required emergency landings at Bankstown. Obviously, they have not been able to fix the problem in the last two events.
No engine will go properly without fuel

Absolutely nothing wrong with the Foxbat and the engine is highly reliable provided all vital fluids supplied. I can think of a few Continental and Lycomings that have proved temperamental over the years.
Well said, Ndegi. Lighten up, PoppaJo, and take some objectivity pills.
