A Cargologic Boeing 747-400 freighter, registration G-CLBA performing flight P3-5130 from London Heathrow,EN (UK) to Atlanta,GA (USA), was climbing out of Heathrow's runway 27R when the crew stopped the climb at FL090 reporting hydraulic issues. The aircraft entered a hold about 40nm north of London, then headed out to the North Sea and entered another hold, then decided to divert to Frankfurt/Main (Germany). Still maintaining FL090 the aircraft began to approach to Frankfurt about 2.5 hours after departure. The crew advised it would be a normal landing, otherwise both ATC and the crew maintained routine communication. The aircraft landed safely on Frankfurt's runway 25C about 2:50 hours after departure.
