A long-term investigation into Organo Phosphate oil contamination and poisoning due to failed RB211-535-E4 seals is currently underway by BALPA. I noticed with interest the registration of the particular airframe.

I can remember a similar incident where we needed to wipe the oil smears off the instruments. 40 minutes after landing, the eng said he still saw a thick fog of blue fumes when he entered the flightdeck. If anyone knows the names of the crew involved then can they suggest that they contact Tristan Lorraine at BALPA about the blood tests. I was as sick as a dog for a week after the event.
