Re: I would have thought...
Stuck in a traffic jam on the M25, at the end of the Heathrow runway, windows wound down because it was blistering hot, when I thought the world was coming to an end...
Concorde goes thundering overhead at a few hundred feet, giving it the beans.
Scared the living crap out of me. The word LOUD doesn't really do it justice.
I remember also being at Reading rock festival in the early 80s, and it used to drown out the music every afternoon as it climbed out from LHR.
Wish I could have afforded a flight. What a plane!
