'Private Eye' returns to the 146
This week's 'Private Eye' has returned to the BAe 146 fumes story. According to the magazine an enthusiast overheard a Jersey-Stansted flight (18/4/01) making a pan call to land at Gatwick with fumes in the cabin leading to a shutdown. The CAA confirmed the story saying that thick smoke was reported in the cabin and FD and the crew wore masks. No 3 was shut down and an uneventful landing made.
