Hope I got the attribution right this time

Dude, Do you know how the #2 system was exhausted if it wasn't through another thrust recovery nozzle? We were never going to throw away 600 lbf thrust every other flight - not on Concorde where we sweated blood to get the parasitic drag down!
Any chance that there was a common discharge point even if the two packs were used alternately?
