It’s a Concorde flare, perfectly normal. That thing uses insane AOA to get off and back on the ground.
That’s amazing!

That thing didn’t use up too much runway???
When it takes off again it’s gonna burn people on the beach cause there gonna need there afterburners to get off the ground

When was this taken?
I hate to correct you but it did happen. Concorde visited Saint Martin (SXM )on 17th of December 1989 bringing in the French President for a summit. The pictures above are on display at the airport.
This is also from the twitter of the airport.

MaxSez: I stand Corrected! Don’t know how I missed this one. Only saw simulated depictions. Shame there’s not a good complete film. Good catch Adam!

I wonder if they had to clear the beach for it to take off.
Too bad we didn’t have camera phones back then to get a video of it landing and taking off!
