Rex at SYD today... WTF??

What on earth was going on with the saab spewing smoke today at Sydney (Rex 677?). 6 fire units in attendance, Sydney Fire Commander urging the crew to shut down the offending (No. 1) engine but the crew taxied back to the terminal with both running. That much smoke is serious, what does a cooked CT7 cost?

Obviously there is more to it than met my ear, so please explain.

They forgot to turn off the airshow kit, you know the thing that drips oil onto the exhaust pipe to make display smoke?
