William, I'll need an email address from you. I sent you a PM last week.

I was a passenger on this flight. I'm waiting for a copy of the report from the AAIB. Has anyone ever been in touch with BA/heard from them??

It could be months or even years before the AAIB report is published.
I was at a party which John Monks was at recently and I started chatting to him about the accident, but then someone tore him away for a photo and I never got to speak to him again for the full story. I've had no official contact with BA.
A detailed investigation was carried out over a four day period by the operator, in conjunction with the aircraft manufacturer, and no source of the fumes/smoke could be found. The aircraft was ferried back to the operator’s main base where further examination and testing was carried out, but still no source or explanation of the fumes/smoke was found.
I would have thought that the seats where the sparks/smoke was coming from would have been a good place to look for an explanation. Apparently they couldn't find anything though and the aircraft returned to service 10 days after the incident.
The cockpit voice recordings were accidentally recorded over during the subsequent maintenance activities so were not available to the investigation team. The only reccomendations from the report are that BA and the CAA review their procedures and training regarding CVR preservation.

Report is interesting reading. Flight deck on oxygen masks, a pan call to ATC and cabin crew discharging fire extinguishers. Clearly not just normal start up smells.
