MERGED: Aircraft on fire - Perth - photo of it in the air
Reports of an aircraft on fire after take off from Perth
- photo of it in the air with a glow or flames from one of the engines,
I'll leave it for others to decide how to describe it.
Said to now be safely on the ground again and it was "well under control"

Stand by for the usual hysterical reaction from the media, especially with quotes from some of the pax.
And what Blueskymine said!

Witnesses have reported seeing the flames coming from the right engine
Cobham operates aircraft on behalf of Qantas regional subsidiary QantasLink
Top notch reporting!

The media really do take the cake.
Video of interview with a passenger out the front of the airport,
asking all the hyped up questions trying to get a good quote etc.
The guy was quite cool even though he said he was a bit scared
but I thought didn't get caught up in the hoopla that the media
was trying to generate.
The heading on the video says it all
"cobham passenger terrified to see flames"

Well, it's all a big company play, isn't it? - with a dozen companies and subsidiaries that are still all owned by Qantas, when it comes to the crunch?
Cobham (formerly National Jet, to those who came in late, as the Phantom says) talk of "providing services" to QantasLink and Australian Air Express - but Qantas still owns them all.
Technically, you're correct, but it's all a big paperwork exercise designed to minimise tax and gain other financial "arms length" advantages.
