I had a similar incident at Heathrow years ago. We had a normal flight from Europe and were on our final descent thru a dense layer of cloud cover. I was looking out of my window and could see as we broke thru the clouds that we were at maybe 5000 ASL when all of a sudden we accelerated up up and away! The pilot came on the PA moments later unsuccessfully stifling a slight chuckle but with classic British aplomb and explained "sorry for the excitement folks but someone quite carelessly placed another aircraft precisely where I wished to land this one" (words to that effect). To my surprise the cabin burst into laughter.
