Is it just me or has anybody else noticed that the clouds have a brownish tinge to them? Just my observation whilst flying down T9 to the Canaries on Friday morning. It also may just be a coincidence but the whole of the cabin and flight deck stank very strongly of burning paper on engine shut down on stand.
The cabin crew senior reported the fumes to be like someone had just struck a box full of matches, all the passengers were very concerned. Duration of the fumes lasted about 7 to 8 minutes and I opened the DV to get fresh air into the flight deck. The engineer could not find anything obvious after a thorough inspection, neither could I during the walk round

The same thing happened the next day on the sane aircraft.
