LGW 747 takeoff window views from both sides same flight
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.

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
