BA 057 - rejected takeoff at LHR with "flames"?

Anyone know anything about a BA flight last night (13 Feb) from Heathrow to Johannesburg believed to be BA057. Several hours late departing (about 2300), then noisily and somewhat dramatically rejected takeoff with passengers claiming to see "flames" from one of the engines. Aircraft is said to have sat on the runway for a couple of hours (though it may have been a taxiway) before pax disembarked.

Any info about which aircraft, nature of the problem, reason for keeping everyone on board, etc?
