Not sure about the tyre pressures, but I have just found thi sgreat site -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Electric_Lightning

Hows this for a cool quote -

'In British Airways trials, Concorde was offered as a target to NATO fighters including F-15s, F-16s, F-14s, Mirages, F-104s - but only the Lightning managed to overtake Concorde on a stern intercept. During these trials Concorde was at 57,000 ft and travelling at Mach 2.2.'

I didn't realise it could climb at 50,000 feet per minute!?


Wow!
