Sonic Boom Over Norfolk Just Now

[Al Gorithum]

Two jets. Wonder what's happening?

It's usually Typhoons on a Quick Reaction Alert in response to a Russian Bear (Tu-95 maritime patrol aircraft) heading in to the North Sea

Yeah, always a possibility

Looks like a Typhoon out of Conningsby went out over the North sea and is currently coming back in over Yorkshire, but nothing obvious over Yorkshire that's showing up on here

Not sure a Jet2 flight can crack the number, no matter how much the pilot has had to drink.

Theres night flying over the upper North Sea this week out of Lossiemouth.
Could be a plane heading up there for that.
