Worked at LHR Air Canada Commissary during the student vacs of '66, '67' & '68. Next door were the Eagle hangars. Occasionally during Britannia engine starts a plume of flame would streak out of an exhaust, stretching beyond the tail (presumbly unburnt fuel igniting too late). Spectacular!

This pic was taken in the summer of '68, just before Eagle's demise.
