Further to skittles post - if anyone has links to HD footage of concorde at all, I'd love it see it. There are a couple of youtube videos:
YouTube - Concorde Final flight:HD Tranquility Base Razorfish ( Audio 320kb
YouTube - Saving Concorde HD

But it would be great to see nice HD footage of one of the ladies in flight.

One question for the people who designed & worked with her - was there any sort of thrust vectoring - not for any directional controls of course, but perhaps to give extra lift to save drag on the wing when at mach2? Or is that a completely daft idea? Perhaps I'm not explaining what I mean well - what I mean is was the direction of the exhaust gases completely 100% unchanged, or were they directed slightly downwards to generate some lift?

Clearly, I have no clue what I'm talking about :-)
