Concord Incident

From time to time I've seen mention by posters on Pprune of a Concord declaring a Mayday due low fuel at LHR. What little info I've been able to glean from the web is a Concorde flight from New York on 3 Jan 98 had attempted one approach that was hampered by high winds. On the second approach the Captain issued a PAN alert, reporting a fuel emergency. This was followed five minutes later by a full Mayday alert 1.5 miles (2.5 kilometres) from the airport. The pilot was subsequently dismissed.

I've been unable to find any mention on the AAIB site so anyone able to help out? Official rather than scuttlebut if able.
Many thanks - Brian
