A330 AC LHR

[Tonic Please]

Hi all. May I ask for more information regarding the Air Canada A330 which my dad saw at work today @ LHR. It was about 330pm, and it was 2nd or 3rd in line, when it clearly cancelled it slot, and went over to a hard stand towards T5 and had many fire trucks, seeming to be inspecting the Number 1 engine. Then he had to leave (dad)

Sounds like quite a happening to have a number of BAA trucks and fire trucks around it, 2nd in line for take off?

Hoping for informative responses.

Dan.

Fuel leak from the port wing.

Thank you, sir. What was the outcome of the situation?

The a/c went back to stand, and after a period the emergency was cancelled by the fire service. I don't know what ocurred after that.
