On landing at Jeddah, the aircraft’s No.4 Engine reportedly caught fire. It was understood that both fire bottles were used and that, initially, the fire ‘died down.’ However, sometime later, it apparently flared up again and had caused damage to the engine cowls, adjacent wing area before it could be extinguished by the AFS.
