very unusual to go supersonic over land. emergency scramble?
Apparently not, that was my first thought but my mate works at Yeovilton and he told me they were just "showing the Brits what they had" after using Yeoviltons refuelling tanker. |

A bit silly in general TBH, but thats the 'Merican way when it comes to their army, navy and air force so I have heard from those that work closely with them. They have the by far and away best weapons budget in the world but not by any means the best soldiers. |

James II, did though at Sedgemoor. Took the Glorious Revolution of 1688 to sort him out. |

We live in a converted pub from the 16th century and where I park my car was where allegedly Judge Jefferys held some of the bloody assizes after the Battle of Sedgemoor. This has been debated ever since but 12 local rebels were hung at the gallows at the top end of the High Street in the aftermath. From the Chard Museum site.... The town was briefly affected by the Monmouth Rebellion of 1685 as the Duke’s army marched through on their way to their defeat at the Battle of Sedgemoor. Chard citizens escaped lightly in the retribution of Judge Jeffrey’s Bloody Assizes although twelve rebel strangers were brought to the town and hanged. |

I wouldn't have thought someone would go Mach 1 overland for a bit of willy-waving, they'd end up in quite a bit of hot water if that were the case.

They got a telling off from Yeovilton ATC apparently but they were flying out to sea and the coast is only 10 miles from us so it could be just eagerness to leave Somerset/Dorest.  |

Put on my coffee machine this morning then went upstairs to hang out some washing. When I got downstairs the machine had pissed coffee everywhere. An unnoticed crack in the carafe was culpable.
