Mach 2

Other mistake: The crew are commencing pre-flight checks, and the aircraft shown still has the blanking plates in the engine intakes.

Factual error: The Concorde is seen in several shots supposedly circling over Paris, but all the shots show snow capped mountains beneath. This appears to be The Alps or The Pyrenees, neither of which would be on a Parisian holding pattern. There are no mountains around Paris. Also, it is quite unlikely that permission would be given to shoot down a multi-million dollar plane over a hugely populated area like Paris as the results could be catastrophic. I suppose that is why all the views of the mountains were so vital to the plot.
