The captain had informed the passengers that the smell was from 'liquid faecal excrement' and returned to London about 35 minutes after departure.

The passengers were put up in Heathrow hotel rooms and were offered food vouchers.
The following day (13th March) departed 13:34 on replacement aircraft G-VIIL.
