Narrative:

It was really a non issue. When we took off, pilots noticed some sort of problem (I don't even know what), and we returned to the airport after a few mins in the air. (I assume to dump fuel.) we landed without incident. No preparations for an evacuate/evacuation were called for and none made. We changed aircraft and got under way.
