Sonic boom heard in Essex, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire

I went looking for an exploding picture of Sonic or a funny Street Fighter 2 Guile one, in the end...

And that's just what he's using in the streets :lol:

Well if the jet had been hijacked then the fighter pilots response was justified it would probably have been authorised prior anyway. Good news that there was nothing to respond to in the end.

Eh? Y'what
This sonic boom was heard in St. Ives and Essex? That's about 360 miles away.
Quite a noise...

I used to live about 10 kilometre from the local Tornado squadron in Bavaria. They would do supersonic flights every month or so. It is loud but not window breaking loud...

Glad to hear it was a false alarm.

Fast jet moves fast. About 10 minutes between the two?
