Woman on the radio thinks it was the gas leak in the north sea.......

the 6 jets I saw were all Eurofighters just been confirmed by an RAF mate that was hone on leave

and they sound like sonic booms when turning/banking as they tear the air around them so much.

Birmingham Airport dismissed suggestions the sound could have been caused by a sonic boom as a plane came in to land.

WTF - do people think planes come in to land at the speed of sound :confused:

Well, they do sometimes.... If you can class crashing as a type of landing.
