RAAF plane fault found
The Australian Defence Force says preliminary results of an investigation into the emergency landing in Iraq of an RAAF Hercules carrying the Prime Minister have identified a fault in a hydraulic engine pump.

A fault in the hydraulic pump on No. 4 engine caused hydraulic fluid to be ingested into the engine and subsequently fumes to appear in the aircraft's pressurisation and airconditioning system.
