Concorde chasing
I was listening to a lecture on Concorde last night, and the presenter postulated that a military version could have done everything the Blackbird did, but far more cheaply, more safely, and more practically (operating from any airfiled using Jet A1, not just the 3 it did use with its special fuel). Although only M2 compared to the SR71's M3, he argued that M2 was ample to avoid being shot down as no fighter had ever got a firing position on Concorde despite the RAF knowing when and where it would be and trying to simulate a shoot-down!
Does anyone know different? Plenty of fighters tried to get a firing position on the beautiful white bird. Did any succeed?
