Concorde was pretty special. Only plane that made people look up, and yes a right noisy bastard.

Talking of Concord, was at Legoland some years ago and Concord took off from Heathrow, that was some bloody noise.

I remember the sonic boom tests they did above the Thames while Concorde was under development.
Was at school and the teachers had to open all the windows and we went to stand in the corridor to wait for it.
Even as a 7 year old, I was singularly unimpressed.

Heard something but it wasn't that loud and didn't give it much thought at the time.

"A sonic boom has been heard across the East of England after RAF Typhoon aircraft were launched to intercept a plane that had lost communications."
AKA bloody Russian plane invaded our territory again...

There's a runway at Stansted which is used if there's onboard issues, mainly terrorism if I'm not mistaken?

Or if, as per the BBC report, communications with the civilian aircraft have been 'lost'.

That explains it. Heard in Chadwell Heath, sounded like a boulder had been dropped on the roof
