I was an airforce brat living on a Vulcan base and when they scrambled the
whole earth shook.

The Google Earth pictures of LHR are a bit old as they show Concorde too.

About 14 years ago I was renting at Europcar, I think it was just off 9L,
when the Concorde blasted off.

OMG it was great, everything shook, you could see the pilot smiling as he
hit the AB.

WAHOO!

More Trivia;
If you have to rent a car at Heathrow, make it Hertz.
Their rental booth is right at the touchdown zone of one runway (not sure
which) and if they are landing that way when you pick up the car you will
have
just about the closest view of large aircraft touching down this side of
getting killed!

Maybe if you pay Hertz they'll let you work there!
