A/c was a TCX B752 enroute GLA-TFS landing at MAN overweight. Interesting bit was while this incident was going on, another TCX B752 routing LBA-SSH diverted full emergency to MAN on a single engine.
TFS pax now on their way to TFS; SSH due to go soon ..... both on replacement units.

ACCMAN, do you know by how much it landed overweight? id have thought they would have dumped sufficient fuel during the fuel dump to keep them at a suitable weight... unless i misunderstood the transmission, but i thought i heard the word fuel dump
i was half expecting to see it land at bfs

B757 with fuel dump capability?
, could have been ATC offering an area for dumping.. (i myself only just found out about the 757 having no fuel dump a few minutes ago after searching on wiki to see how it works, i just assumed all aircraft could do it hence why i thought it dumped fuel for definate after hearing the word fuel dump 
) to be honest i only heard bits and pieces of the transmission as i was working and half asleep
Landing overweight (7 tons isn't a lot for a 757) is a non-issue, if you are landing with a tech problem serious enough to ground the aircraft. An overweight landing requires an inspection, but the time taken for the inspection is tiny compared to the time required to get the aircraft in the air again.

Almost but not quite unrelated
I would suggest anyone in the trade reading here
have a look at the Manchester Evening News Website.
The write up is actually reasonable... with the possible exception of the
word 'drama'
Two jets make emergency landings at Manchester Airport - News - Manchester Evening News
The comments now... that's another thing!
