The aircraft was operating a scheduled flight from Aberdeen to Manchester. Whilst climbing through
FL 100, the co-pilot noticed an uncommanded torque increase on the right engine which he adjusted
using the power lever. The crew also heard an unusual "cyclic" sound. Shortly afterwards the cabin
staff reported a burning smell in the rear galley and aft cabin at the same time as the flight crew also
detected smoke and a smell described as like "burning oil".
As the aircraft was only about 10 nm north west of Newcastle Airport, the captain decided to divert
there and made a 'PAN' call to that effect. He then depressurised the aircraft during the descent which cleared the smoke. An uneventful landing was made and, after an external inspection by the fire services, the aircraft taxied to a stand and the passengers disembarked via the forward airstairs.
