any problem with cabin pressurisation or air conditioning. After shut down the
cabin attendants still felt unwell and mentioned that similar symptoms had
previously been experienced on this particular aircraft. Air conditioning pack
inspection accomplished in accordance with ADM1049, (ADM1049 is an inspection

The date in the question

fumes event involving this aircraft was on 14 March 2005. Details are as follows:
During cruise, smoke was observed
emanating from an oven in the rear galley and the cabin crew were instructed to
attend to the situation in accordance with their Standard Operating Procedures
training. A MAYDAY was declared with a request for an immediate landing at Isle
of Man. After landing the aerodrome fire services attended the aircraft and
