A incident at Wellington earlier today

There was a small incident at Wellington International Airport earlier today. I arrived at the club to see a Mount Cook Airline [part of the Air New Zealand group] parked on the runway with one engine shutdown and airport fire responding.

Initial reports indicate that the crew received an engine fire indication on the approach. There was no sign of fire evident as the aircraft waiting on the runway, and it was soon taxiing back to the gate with the approximately 60 passengers on board.

Airport fire spent some time cleaning up some liquid left on the runway [from the extinguisher???], and the airport was effectively closed for about 35/40 minutes with resultant diversions and a couple of lighties [including one from the aero club] held in the air.

What follow are a few pictures. If you look close you'll see that the right hand engine is feathered.
