Would have been one hell of a draught blowing through the cabin!
I strongly suspect that anyone building a new high altitude super sonic airliner today would learn an awful lot about what they'd have to do by reading the Concorde thread in Tech Log.
That Concorde thread in Tech Log has been remixed for your reading pleasure of you google "concorde paulross" It even has a section on depressurisation!
