Never knew that. I was however aware of leaky front bog problems across the fleet. Maybe that could be considered fumes in the cabin problems. The blue tide on climbout was not a pretty sight.

I was aware of problems with the Garrett??? APUs. Is this the same thing?

Best regards and thanks for the info.

Oh yes - and Plane speaker - the juniour jumbo is one of the finest aeroplanes I have ever had the pleasure of riding in - in Y class too in 96 seat config with EW. Felt as solid as the F28 or DC10 aound you, and landed wonderfully on the cantilever Comet undercarriage. I also loved the flap harmonic you could clearly hear from 2 miles away on a still DPO night while the girl was on downwind out of Sydney.

They were a dream to trim, but a b@stard to load due to the low entry locker doors.
