I'm not convinced it would have made a particularly survivable recce platform - in cold war Europe anyhow - compared with the SR-71 it hadn't got the speed, hadn't got the altitude, and certainly wasn't stealthy.

I know of at least one instance of an F-4M doing a stern conversion on Concorde.. and taking the Fox 2 ( as to it's validity though - I wasn't a QWI so I can't possibly say ). Whatever the outcome AFAIK it didn't result in an interview.
