I've seen a few posts on PRUNE about strange smells in the 146. Earlier this week I got to experience it first hand. I don't know if anyone is collecting such reports but...
I was in seat 8F (I think) on a BA/SN flight from Brussels to LGW. During push back (before the cabin air was switched on) there was a dreadful stink. It was very clearly coming from the window frame or the slot the blind runs in. It smelt like a tramps pants (not that I go around smelling old tramps!). It vanished as soon as the cabin air was switched on and I thought I detected it again during descent only much fainter.
