Donks ago, I remember at Manch a DanAir 748 departed for NEW....10 mins later "Mayday,engine fire warning" A/c landed 10 mins later. After checks [1.5 hours] A/c again departs for NEW....10 mins later....."Mayday engine fire warning". On landing, the pax were bussed to NEW, and the Crew retired to the bar...:ok:

sounds like another today...same airline, same aircraft type??? dont know if it was same reg though....that WOULD be a shocker

Manchester many, many years ago:- Approach controller on the intercom says,"That's your full emergency at 8 miles." Reply from tower, "No, he's just over the threshold." Immediate response, "This is another one!"
Both landed safely and trainee tower controller (me) and mentor decided it was a good time to have a coffee break.
