Ohh yuk!! What is that Clive? It looks photoshopped to me, because why would anyone want Concorde to look like that?
Not photshopped I assure you. That's 201 in the dress she wore for the celebrations of Concorde's first flight in Toulouse. 'orrible isn't it? I don't think she ever flew like that. As Shaggy said it would completely screw up the skin temperatures.

Shaggy - your serious question - the pressure at 60,000 ft is 1.04 psi and at 6000 ft it is 11.78 psi so 10.74 psi differential.
