BA 56 FAOR - EGLL Returning to JHB

BA56 (Airbus A380) Hi guys. Saw this on FR24. Possibly Dumping Fuel over Botswana and returning to Joburg.

Anyone have any news on this?

If you can believe the FR24 data.

But the first three turn offs it never would have made, the fourth involved at least a 120 degree turn and by the time you've got to the fifth it may not even be the correct PCN for the 380 for all I know. Might have just been easier to keep it rolling gently to the end, not necessarily any drama.

Dont know if this is the real / only reason. Someone on the inside said it was a WX Radar Malfunction.
