BAW292 Comms with KBOS Tower. Edited for dead space/relevance.

A British Airways Boeing 777-200, registration G-VIIX performing flight BA-292 from Washington Dulles,DC (USA) to London Heathrow,EN (UK), was enroute at FL370 about 20nm northeast of Boston,MA (USA) when the crew decided to turn around and divert to Boston reporting no serious problem and no assistance required after smell of fuel was noticed on board. The airplane landed safely on runway 33L about 30 minutes later. After touchdown the crew reported they had quite some strong fumes on the flight deck and requested emergency services to follow them to the apron.

The aircraft was to be ferried to London as flight BA-9608 with 13 crew about 32 hours later (departure Jan 31st), the airplane was already enroute at FL370 about 160nm northeast of Boston when the crew decided to return to Boston again due to haze in the cabin. The airplane landed safely on runway 33L about 40 minutes later.

The airport reported mechanics are suspecting oil leaked from the APU into the air conditioning system.

BAW9608, Ferry flight from KBOS-EGLL returned after "haze" in the cockpit.

Really busy time and I did my best to edit these clips but it was a huge cluster.
