VARIG problems at LHR-multi return

Any info on the RG LHR-CPH-LHR-GRU on 23/10/05. Flight did 2 LHR returns, arrived back from CPH at 2am today, departed for GRU around 3am and has now returned to LHR.

Yep, i noticed the same. Its PP_VQJ and arrived back in here from CPH around 0315 lt today, must have convinced BAA to let them in at such a time. I wasnt aware if departed for GRU and returned. As far as I can see the outbound leg to GRU is now delayed indefinitely. The other inbound VRG8752 PP-VQJ is due in around 1330local today, we might get to see 2x Varigs together.

Not sure what the fault was but saw the engineers working up on number 2 engine for some time in the wind and rain, then the plane was park over near T5 for a few days..

Departed for CPH, then landed back at LHR, suffering what seemd to be a compressor stall in one of the engines on landing. Got turned around, went out to the holding point to depart back to Brazil, but then had hydraulic problems and went back to stand.
