777's and a puff of smoke
Let me put on the annorack a minute.
Right, working up at LGW yesterday I watched a few of the many 777's departing on 8R and after rotation at about 150 - 200 feet with gear in motion there was a small puff of black smoke from an engine. It appeared to be happening on all airlines and not just on one particular engine type.
I'm not scare mongering because it happened on everyone and seemed normal, I was just wondering what it might be.
And while I'm at it whats the small panel on a DC10 under the secound door on the left that looks like its twisted out or in, could that be air-con or APU associated?
Annorak off
Thanks
