Sat 4 Mar 2023, 13:31 Papers say- The ground was reportedly shaking and houses were rocked as far south as Oxford as well as 70 miles north in Leicester at around 12.15pm today. There were reports that it may have been RAF Typhoon fighter jets scrambling to help a Dash 8 aircraft that had radio failure and was heading to London. Hundreds of people have heard a loud explosion believed to be a sonic boom across central England. Aviation Highlights tweeted: 'The fighters were reportedly supersonic on their way south from RAF Coningsby.' 'Aircraft currently being escorted to London Stansted Airport. |
