Think the F3 was 800kts. Willing to be told otherwise.
I was on Concorde once (never name drop, Elton told me that) and asked to visit the sharp end where I was surprised to see Vne was 530kts. I didn't expect it to be that high. Shows how advanced that bit of kit was. I remember the atmospheric conditions were such that we were cruising higher than normal and topped out at 60,000' and Mach 2.02 while sipping a beautiful Lanson Noble and eating strawberries and cream.What an aircraft.
