Most of the web links have gone..Airline Flybe say there was no fire on aborted flight bound for Scotland - The Daily Record
Is this nearer the mark?.

Posted by a passenger on Aviation Herald:
I was on this flight and I can assure you there was smoke in the cabin.
I can also assure you that the reports,whilst exaggerated as to screaming etc, were not exaggerated with regards to cabin crew, who looked extremely scared and did very little to assure passengers.
The Pilot was visibly shaking when she addressed the passengers on landing.
I am a very regular flier and I can assure you this situation was not best handled by the airline at all! Information was lacking during the flight and quite frankly wrong in the airport. (wrong gate information, signs up at the gate directing us to another gate and finally an entirely different gate allocated).
I will not be flying with flybe again
Didn't a similar incident happen on an EMB 195 flying between MAN and BHD several years ago. It had to land in the IOM with an emergency evac - but perhaps I'm wrong.

Aaaaah, isn't ignorance just pure bliss!
What does this mean? I simply posted a passenger's description of what happened. The passenger concedes reports of travellers screaming were exaggerated; says the cabin crew were alarmed - they are responsible for the safety of everyone who's paid to travel on the aircraft - and said the pilot obviously found the situation stressful which is very understandable. I also said I seemed to remember something similar happening on a Flybe 195 travelling from Manchester to BHD.
Here's one part of the Aviation Herald's report into that incident:
When the airplane climbed through FL240 both pilots smelled a sulphurous burning odour similiar to a match being lit leading the flight crew to believe a passenger might be smoking in the forward lavatory. Cabin crew was contacted however found no-one in the lavatory. Cabin crew reported haze was visible at the rear of the cabin and some smell was noticeable in the cabin.
Sounds to me like there were some similarities, so how did my comment represent ignorance? I've no idea what happened on the flight from BHX to GLA. I was simply trying to contribute to the discussion.

The Av herald article also states that the AAIB are aware of the non reportable event. Let me assure you that if there had been fumes in the cabin as per the iom event then that would have been taken very seriously by the AAIB.
The alleged pax report is full of holes and like the record article which started the ball rolling is a figment of someone's imagination. Likewise your attempt to link the to events is in the same vein.
With any luck Flybe take the record to cort and win.

The article also forgot to mention
"the pilot's were hailed as heroes"
and
"passenger's were reimbursed with a £5 food and beverage voucher which could barely get them a bottle of water and a snickers".
