I was on the taxiway at Heathrow just as darkness had fallen, my plane was 8th or 9th in the queue to take off. I was nonchalantly minding my own business at the window seat, playing the seasoned traveller and ignoring the 747's and 737's taking off. Then there was a louder noise, I looked out and saw Concord just starting its take off, the plane I was in started vibrating and out of Concord came huge flames that seem to light up the sky as it picked up pace down the runway, I was able to follow it until it was up in the air with the flames still streaming from the rear. Will never forget that experience.
