All I know is that aircraft had an engine fire after take off,tower and other aircraft on the ground reported visual with the fire from one of the engines.

Airport was closed for about 20 mins.

Aircraft took off from Rwy 14 and landed back on 32 with one engine shutt down.

Aircraft was indeed a B757 which I saw landing safely.

No smoke or indeed fire was visible after landing .Aircraft taxied to stand followed by fire services but no evacuation was needed.


We just started our engines when all of this was taking place and we were advised of the emergency situation by ground.

Very well done to the crew involved! Nice landing as well as commented by tower!
