There seems to be a lot of sonic booms happening in different countries recently, like in the past week.

Maybe caused by the jet on the way to this.

No, that kind of tech hasn't reached Derby yet...

Doesn't Rolls-Royce build jet engines in Derby?

Arguable the best jet engines in the world plus nuclear reactors and other state of the art tech, but don’t go ruining a good joke.

its amazing just how loud a sonic boom is - there was one near leeds a few years ago and i thought it was an explosion.

 

[Droolinggimp]

True. I never realised they travel so far.

Any links?

Not the Desert?

i see what you did there...

 

[Malevolence]

Bet that made the pilot's day. Not often they get chance to go supersonic over land.

I'm curious why people call 999. Unless you've seen an explosion, you are going to assume that you are the first responder from some sound which is clearly quite far away? It could be anything and I'm sure people that are closer will report it if it is serious.

Did you mean counties or countries . I knew about the first one, and this thread is about the second one. I wouldn't say "There seems to be a lot of sonic booms happening in different countries recently, like in the past week." based on two sonic booms though? They aren't that uncommon, especially in different countries!

Was in Derby yesterday , just thought the bang was from them demolishing something due to all the roadworks .

I think it was last year or maybe the year before a flight into iirc Newcastle lost radio contact with atc and 2 Typhoons were scrambled on QRA from Coningsby and we got two Sonic booms as they flew over us in West Yorkshire, it really was impressive (and scary) how bone rattlingly loud they were

 

[NooBish AbbZ]

Jets from Coningsby; bring the ******* noise lads

 

[Malevolence]

Pretty expensive hissy fit.
