I remember well a sortie against Concorde from Wattisham! in a Mk6 Lightning. Initially a head on supersonic to fire Red Top Missile acquired and for real would have been fired! Then converted to a stern attack! Very critical profile and I remember rolling out to see the target disappearing into the wide blue yonder! Pulled up for height and started the glide back to base! Can’t remember heights/ speeds etc but landed above minimums! An interesting experience!


Oh the target I believe was contracted to the MOD and contained no passengers.
