Smoke reported from cockpit of Embraer 195

BAe146 tail? Hot on the heels of the airport drama earlier this week, when problems with an aircraft landing caused the M27 to be closed, smoke was reported on board an Embraer 195 carrying 117 people into Southampton Airport last night (Aug 15), according to this Daily Echo story. The Embraer is Flybe's new plane made in Brazil, which, it's claimed, is up to 35% quieter than the BAe146s it will replace.
