LGW 747 takeoff window views from both sides same flight

[L1011dal]

Missing the 747 activity and hope they are back soon. Here's a rare presepctive from a Virgin Atlantic 747-400 taking off from LGW with video from both sides during takeoff from a year ago. Hope 747's are around a little longer since it seems like A380's are not getting much love with declines in traffic.

Window view both sides of Boeing 747 takeoff

It's reassuring to see that both sides of the aircraft are travelling at more-or-less the same speed, and rotate at the same time.

My best flight ever was in Upper Class on a VS 747-400 returning from work in CPT on a Boxing Day to LHR (Day flight)
Flight was almost empty - was like my own Private jet.
Only me in the front cabin - Zone A with 4 CC to look after me - About 50 down the back and just one pax on the UD.

Bliss - loved watching flying up over Africa, the Sahara etc being wait on hand and foot -
On descent over the Channel the winter night sky was clear as a bell and the whole of the South Coast was visible in the front of the Jumbo via the windows both sides, from
Bournemouth to Beachy Head
