On the subject of matters Tonka, this image has recently done the rounds with credits to Adrian Meredith who states:

April 1985 Concorde flies supersonic G-BOAG
This is a dramatic picture of Concorde flying at supersonic speed. This is the only picture ever taken of Concorde flying at Mach 2, 1,350 mph. This unique picture was taken by me from a Tornado fighter jet, which only rendezvoused with Concorde for just 4 minutes over the Irish Sea, Photograph by Adrian Meredith Welcome to Concorde Photos - Concorde Photos and Memorabilia
The RAF Tornado rapidly running out of fuel, and was struggling to keep up with Concorde, at Mach 2.
Would a Tornado be able to intercept and stay with a M2.0 Concorde for 4 minutes?
