BA457 Smoke in cockpit EGLL
BA457 (B757) just landed EGLL 27R after suspected smoke in cockpit.
Currently holding off runway with fire appliances in attendance.
(should have realised it was smoke in cockpit - their RT sounded strangely garbled - no wonder if they were wearing masks!).

No, I 'm sure you're right. The threat of fire on an airborne aircraft must be really quite stressfull for the aircrew. One thinks of the Swiss MD11.

Pretty straight forward, this one. 15 mile gap ahead and 8nm behind; one aircraft broken off the approach and two others repositioned.
Thats like saying the airframe broke up on touchdown but it was ok because all other I/Bs landed on 27L.

Yes, I think that is fair, but in the past we have been criticised for our handling of some emergencies - especially when forced to vector them over London, as is inevitable with a westerly wind. This was handled well, with a minimum of fuss.

BA457 Engine Fire EGLL
Anyone know where the flight was inbound from? Also do we know what the problem was?
I fly the LHR-MADRID route most weeks and nearly always on a BA 757...

Looking at this report this could be cause for concern with regard to Toxic Air Syndrome..... its a B757 which have been noted in the past as being associated with this phenomenon... www.aopis.org....

Just coming back to this, and the Thomson 757 at STN, are they similar faults ??Is the 757 more prone to this type of issue? Not a professional which is why I am asking.
I saw CPET at LHR yesterday, was she out of service at all after this incident ?
