I believe that Concorde had an airprox with a Hamble Cherokee on the approach to Fairford on the maiden flight. Is it true that they got on the backside of the drag curve due to this and had to apply re-heat (Concorde, not the Cherokee)?

Go to 06.00 on the video to see the 'landing', At 06.30, Raymond Baxter misinterprets the increase in power as a possible go-aroud.
