I think the smell is from the engine exhausts, more probably from older planes. I used to notice when leaving my car at Gatwick that there was sometimes a slight oily film on it after a week although that doesn't seem to happen now.
Would that be correct?

There is no emergency that would warrant random dumping.  If youve got time to dump you fly to a designated area and if you havent got time to dump, trust me, you have far more urgent things to do than watch fuel pour out

I visit Manchester airport every so often, and some terminals (T1 and T3) suffer from jet exhaust leaking into the corridors through the air conditioning, can be quite powerful at times

FROM PPRnNe net forums;- Incident at Heathrow.

Quote
There is a story told about that one.
One of my favorites that deserves to be true. As the 707 struggled into the air the exchange went something like this.
"Clipper*** do you have a problem?"
That's affirmative Boy."
"Roger, climb straight ahead, the sky is yours call me back when able."
after a few moments the controler spotted a yellow mist behind the aeroplane."Clipper *** are you dumping fuel?"
"That's affirmative Boy."
"Are you aware that you are flying over Windsor Castle?"
"That's arffirmative Boy. You got a phone there?"
"That's --er. Affirmative."
"Well, would you like to call the Lady and ask her if she wants the fuel or the Whole Goddam Airplane!"

After making many holding circuits it came back to Heathrow area and did not land but has done another long loop up over the shetland isles and is now turning back and forth over the North Atlantic.

  Looking at yesterdays flight log it must have landed  at Heathrow   The log says 6th Nov   "flight diverted "  and then flight time 4Hours 41 mins . The flight track shows it never having left the UK. coastal waters.    https://uk.flightaware.com/live/flight/BAW269.  The continuing track showing it going out over the atlantic on route live yesterday was kidology to put the media off the scent of what was obviously a problem . What the issue was has not been made public.

all that is said is that an engine 4 fault triggered the return to Heathrow.

at one stage the flight tracker showed that she had indeed landed and was at zero feet doing 19 knots along the runway.....……..mind you idiots at papers like the Sun would not have equated that as a landing  and taken any further flight recording as gospel...……..


if you told the Sun that flight MH370  was still airborne , they'd believe you, just as they believe Elvis is still alive.

 But after the landing the flight tracker then showed her back on her original route and was plotted over Harris turning NW.  At 10.00pm when I logged off the tracker was showing her several hundred miles out into the North Atlantic just south of Greenland on a north circle  when in fact she was firmly on the black stuff at TW6  .The tracker was also still showing her original outgoing track as well as the phantom second sortie.  All totally impossible of course because of the 4 hours of stooging around to lighten for landing she would never have got half way.

I am fixated by the site...…….quite interesting to watch......especially as we are right under the flightpath of most of the northern bound US  and further afield journeys to the east......a constant troop of planes going over. :-))

We are situated on a direct line between Heathrow and Gatwick.. With traffic from both, on flight departures, on approach and glide path, in holding stacks and just overflying I can't watch the tracker for long because it does my head in.   >>:-(
