Hi
I have a door badly out of the plane of the door frame, the bottom is probably 10mm or more non-flush with the jamb.

Could someone give some advice on how I should move the hinges in order to make it flush?

The obvious thing (to me) would be to move the bottom hinge towards the outside by ~10mm, but there is not enough room to do that. The door also seals at the hinge side so moving the bottom hinge would prevent the door from closing.

Rather dangerous to hang a door out of the back of a plane!
 
its the diagonal opposite you kick out to bring it in
i would go opposite top out2.5mm opposite bottom in 2.5mm that will leave all corners 2.5mm out
 
Kick the frame in or out to handle the twist instead and reseal afterwards

Thanks all, ill look at moving the frame.
Occurred to me that if 3 corners are fine, then implies either the frame or the door must be warped, so I'll look at resolving that (or replacing the whole lot)
 
Could be either, but it really doesn't matter because you'll never flatten a door, so generally best to get the frame to fit the door. You can also shift one of the hinges out a bit if that helps
