More than two dozen Russian military aircraft, including six nuclear bombers, have conducted “significant military manoeuvres” on the edges of Nato and European airspace in the past 24 hours

Seems they are poking about more than usual..

What's the 0-sonic on a Typhoon then? I'm going guess & say about 2 mins scratchchin
Within two minutes of taking off they can be cruising at around 1100mph.

You're doing the music wrong. The pointy-go-fast-flash-bang-wallop-instant-death bouncers were from Coningsby, not Miramar.

So, from the top.

There was I, having a bit of R&R with a cup of coffee, when "WTF was that!" It sounded like someone had beaten a big tin bath with a hammer.

Only found out what it was after reading about it on the web.

I wonder when these useless Typhoons will be replaced by drones?

I want to fly a fighter jet!

Can you get more exciting than "To fulfil their quick reaction role the Typhoons were cleared to travel at supersonic speed, any noise disturbance as a result of this is regretted."

I remember being at Wings and Wheels in Surrey a couple of years ago and the announcer said "the typhoons are just leaving Lincolnshire, they will be here in about 20 minutes"

So awesome.
