Concorde's flight path used to go directly over Swindon, one could see it on a clear day.
I remember it (the boom) was often heard late afternoon in the summertime. Don't know why I only noticed it in the summertime
You never heard Concorde's sonic boom. It didnt go supersonic until well out into the atlantic. Concorde did however have very very loud engines even at subsonic speeds. |

Not quite old enough to remember that.
I was interested because they banned supersonic flights over land, which kind of knackered the Concord order books, hence why only BA and Aif France ended up with them.
Wasn't doubting Samdy, just didn't think the sonic boom reached this far. I feel like I've missed out on something now!

Two fighter jets flew across Lacock this morning not far above pylon height, was out with my dog, it frightened the life out of me and her as they came right over our heads. Don't see them flying that low around here very often. I heard a massive clap of thunder around three thirty today, it was a one off but bloody loud.

Sonic booms are ace
When a plane flies faster than the speed of sound, it pushes the sound ahead of it so much that the sound compresses. It compresses so much that the compressed sound creates the 'boom'. What's best though is that you can also see it. When a jet breaks the sound barrier it looks as though water vapour is pouring off it. That isn't water, it's sound. You can literally see the sound.
It's all waves and stuff
