What about radiation levels?

One of the case studies I did when at University was the radiation
levels experienced by Concorde crews (because it cruised at 60,000ft),
so it is something they've been taking into account for a very long
time.

Wouldn't some aluminium and various other bits of gubbins between the
pilot and outside

Lead perhaps, not something one often sees structurally on planes.

at least partly offset radiation? Is the problem mainly
ionising radiation or UV?

I don't remember the details, but it was a very serious concern.
