Is it really oil???

Whilst not wanting to lessen the concern on oil contamination, how much of it is down to perception?

A recent incident was down to spilt milk in the galley. The incidences are moving to other fleets also.

Funny smell, can't quite put your finger on it? Only momentary? Was it atmospheric ie. the area you are passing over?

Every report at my company is considered seriously and testing of systems is carried out. Usually nothing is found. If anything is found further action is taken.

As regards to this "secret" testing, does the report give aircraft types?

OK, just read the Flight Global write up!
