Just had a couple of aircraft in our area playing "chase me!"

resulting in a Sonic boom........

wonder if the pilot concerned will get a rocket?

White van just drove up the Close as it went bang. He screeched to a halt - I think he thought it was a tyre going bang.....!

I feel I must apologise for my assumption that the planes were playing chase me

apparently the aircraft were allowed to go supersonic in response to a civilian aircraft that had lost radio contact............


a case of legal speeding? LOL
