## Discrepancy

EN-ROUTE, ON TAKEOFF 5 FLIGHT ATTENDANTS SMELLED A RUBBERY ODOR IN REAR OF ACFT.  ODOR DISAPPEARED AFTER TAKEOFF, BUT SEVERAL FLIGHT ATTENDANTS HAD VARIOUS REACTIONS TO IT.  THE FLIGHT DIVERTED EN ROUTE & LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  INSPECTED THE ACFT & FOUND THE SOURCE OF THE ODOR TO BE FROM GALLEY 4 - 2, NR 1 OVEN.  THE OVEN WAS PLACED ON MEL DEFERRAL & THE ACFT WAS FERRIED.  REPLACED THE NR 1 OVEN IN THE MID GALLEY.
