Qantas plane has history of corrosion
July 26, 2008 12:57am
Article from: The Daily Telegraph
* Blast forces Qantas planeto make emergency landing
* It had a history of corrosion
* Maintenance standards also questioned
THE Qantas plane forced to make an emergency landing yesterday after a
massive hole tore through its side had been plagued by a history of
corrosion.
The Daily Telegraph can reveal engineers discovered a large amount of
corrosion in the Qantas jumbo during a major refurbishment earlier this
year.
The 17-year-old Boeing 747-400, registration VH-OJK, received a new
interior at Victoria's Avalon airport in March.
Aviation sources last night revealed that aircraft engineers had noted a
"lot" of corrosion during the refit.

Last night I saw, on a TV news service, Geof Dixon state that the
corrosion found in the B747 was in a seat assembly and was in no way
connected with the incident.
I am still trying to find a link to Geof Dixon's statement.
Unfortunately this sort of statement does not get wide distribution as
it defuses so of the ridiculous media speculation.
One would also presume that if corrosion had been found anywhere in
the aircraft during the refit it would have been repaired.

news:f3053b3e-71a3-4f76-8610-Crew gets ox from bottles (that have got a
mention in this incident)
and one or two back up systems (one system is portable bottle stowed
in cockpit)
sort of last resort type of thing.
I am suddenly reminded of that tragic Greek 737-4 not so long back -
Crew ox bottles empty when they needed them -poor buggers

Many decades ago when supernumary on F27s the oxy pressure was on the
pre-take-off check list. Not now?
