<<one golden rule I cannot forget was with engine
problems after take off never try to return to the ‘field’
look ahead for best crash sight.>>

Given that major international airports are often located in or near to densely populated areas, this may not be a good idea. Multi-engined aircraft should be capable of returning with one engine out - at least, every one I have seen has done so.
