Can anyone smell aviation fuel this afternoon?

[Fef]

It looks like this afternoon's Virgin Atlantic flight VS1 to New York has had problems, and had to return back to Heathrow.

Just wondering if it was dumping fuel over Sussex before returning to the airport. Anyone got itchy eyes or notice a funny smell?

I'd be more concerned at your tracking of aircraft tbh

No but getting attacked my flying ants

I think this has made you a bit high.

Look like it's 1 hour 10 mins into the flight from flightrack info

I would suggest it's seemingly deliberate route would give you an idea of where it might have dumped fuel, if it has done so.

Surely if it was dumping fuel they would of circled it over Croydon area, i'm sure it would of made it smell better than it does

I'm just a sad aviation git.

Think it returned because they forgot to paint it yellow

Many years ago a cargo flight to Africa dumped fuel over Brighton and there was an oily film over everything.

That's what the shadowy Illuminati figures WANT you to think. Just thought I'd get that in before certain other posters did.

Ah, sorry that was me. Ran out of cooking oil and it was all I had to hand. Sausages tasted a bit funny, mind.

Looks like it did loop the loop over Guildford before landing at Wembley !!!!!!

Oops, not so shadowy any more, dammit.
