About the picture above, AEROSPATIALE FRANCE is already painted on the aircraft (although obscured by a sort of cover).
Cheers (and happy new year) to all contributors & readers.

Hello
I got questions about Concorde, perhaps it's a bit tricky but anyway, let's try...
An acquaintance of mine, former french military (Navy) told me about a rumor concerning the french Concorde :
"At the time of IOC or FOC of the ASMP missile (*), cabling work would have been made on one or several Air France Concorde... just in case."
- Does anyone heard it, and/or can confirm/deny it ?
- What about the other side of the Channel ? Did UK evaluate (or more) a military potential for BA's Concorde (bomber, reconnaissance platform...) ?
I am a little skeptical, because at the time mentioned (**), the high altitude strategic bomber was a bit out of fashion (the low altitude mission profile for the Mirage IVAs was introduced in 1966), and I cannot imagine a low altitude Concorde deemed efficient in any way.
And I'm glad that the Lady eventually retained her purely pacific role.
Thanks in advance,
AZR.
(*) the ASMP is the french nuclear air-to-ground missile.
(**) ASMP's date of commissioning is 1986.

No, IIRC the "slaming" was needed to ensure the correct activation of the T/O specific mode, or something like that. Perhaps something to do with the reheat, too.
