Smoking airbus?
I was watching A/C on the apron and noticed some very wierd happenings with one particular A330 on start up. There was a substantial plume of blue smoke eminating from one of the engines, now this was not black smoke that one may normally notice during climb out etc.
My suspicions lie, as the smoke was very blue in colour, with unspent fuel mixture lying in the combustion chamber (can this happen?), but as I never noticed this before (with non piston A/C) I felt I sould ask the question, what did I see?
This only occured in one of the engines and may have lasted only a second.

P.S. I am happy the smoke was not drifting from somewhere else....
