Climbing through 7,000 ft, the crew detected fumes and observed smoke in the cockpit. The crew conducted a fuel dump and returned the aircraft to Nowra. The engineering inspection revealed the bleed air had been inadvertently switched on prior to take-off and the fumes were attributed to heating dust in the stabiliser and wing heat ducting.
