Saw the incident from my lounge window...I live next to the airport.

Engine fire occurred on take-off (take off to the east) circa 6:45am, heard the bang and looked.

Saw the flames but was extinguished quickly. Immediately noticed that climb angle was allot shallower than usual (I bet the bridge seemed close that time...)

Airplane quickly left field of view.

Surprised not on BBC or ar at least Sky News!
