As mentioned below, late on Friday 13 October, the Royal Brunei Airlines Boeing B787-8 Dreamliner V8-DLB eventualy departed Rockhampton Airport bound for Singapore's Changi Airport as RBA4272.
It had arrived late on Thursday 12 October and attempted a departure, taxiing out to the Runway, but it developed a problem, possibly with its brakes, and it taxied back to the Gate where it stayed and eventually received attention during Friday afternoon.
Meanwhile, in the wee small hours of Saturday 14 October, Singapore Airlines Boeing B777-200 9V-SRO was noted visiting Rockhampton Airport.
