I'm not sure of the exact time of departure from Johannesburg - but I believe the QF B747 that had the engine failure (VH-OJL I think it is), when it finally departs JNB, it will probably be carrying a fifth engine back to Sydney.

Keep a watch out for it.

Apologies if this is the wrong forum for this - I have no idea what forum to post this kind of information in. Don't know if it is Civil aviation, photography related or aviation hobby related.

You are correct according to Avherald it is VH-OJL and surprisingly the 747 that was ferried out was VH-OJU!

Yes, I photographed OJU in the Oneworld colours taking off (you can see it on my site). I found out later from a source where it went as QF6020.

I'm also posting this since I'm hoping someone will post a reply and let us know when VH-OJL gets going, so YSSY photographers get a chance to take a photo of the plane with 5 engines.

My bad now according to avherald it is VH-OJN and it left at 9:01 CET according to http://data.flight24.com/airplanes/vh-ojn/,

OJN ferried the replacement engine over there via Perth operating as the QF63 a few days ago., so it will be back tomorrow I guess.
