Narrative:
Shortly after takeoff, received EICAS display fire/overheat system, EICAS display in status indicated right engine fire loop #1 and #2 malfunction (ie, no fire detection on right engine). Completed fire/overheat system checklist (which requires landing at nearest suitable airport) and reviewed overweight landing charts and text from manual. Received ATC clearance to return to egll. Consulted with dispatch and maintenance and received their concurrence for landing. Requested fire fighting equipment to stand by and direct clearance to airport. No fuel dump on this airplane. Landing weight was 382000 pounds (72000 pounds over maximum) sink rate at touchdown, 300 FPM. Normal landing at reduced flap setting. Overweight landing was made using captain's emergency authority/authorized, but I did not actually declare an emergency as required by the operations manual. Forgot -- too busy.
