I have smelled a lot of pungent and nauseating odours in the cockpit over the years, most commonly after departure from south-east asian ports.

Stowaways going through the engine? or just a low level departure over the town.? Years ago when there used to be a lot of oxides of nitrogen in layers NE of Melbourne you would see this brown layer and descend into it the smell came straight through the airconditioning a couple of seconds later.

Happiness is a dry fart at V1 out of Mumbai.

People have died for less that THAT. Abuse of a captive audience. How do you know it's going to be a dry one, anyhow? May your DOG go with you. Nev

Funny I used to smell some pungent bad odors on the 5pm train carriages coming home from the Melbourne city each day after work.I guess its just people being people.
