No - didn't hear it.


Reports of a sonic boom been heard over Doncaster and Leeds are
filtering through over social media following a QRA (Quick Reaction
Alert) Typhoon scramble.

RAF Conningsbury has confirmed that QRA Typhoons were scrambled this
evening, possibly down to an aircrafts Mode-S Transponder been turned
off which could indicate a hijack.

It is normal for Quick Reaction Alert Typhoons to be given
Authority to break the sound barrier over land when scrambled & to be
heard!!!

Many local residents reported that their house had literally been shook
by the noise of the Typhoon breaking the speed of sound.

Early reports indicate that Air France flight AF1558 from Paris to
Newcastle could have been the reason for the typhoons being deployed.

UPDATE CityJet #AF1558 declared an emergency, now on final approach
to Newcastle. Live: https://t.co/Ujl9thvCIj pic.twitter.com/lbE1Eve5mi

Total silence in Barnsley. Not even my CCTV picked it up.

Now Donny got it as did Normanton.

In North Leeds it sounded like those big fireworks that are sent up via a mortar - but a lot louder. I thought it must have been a gas explosion about half a mile away.

No, it was Leicester fans shouting when Chelsea equalised, then the ref
blew the final whistle.

Where was this?
Maybe it was a local wind turbine spinning so fast the tip of the blade
broke the sound barrier?

Heard it here.

Just disappointed it was in the dark and, seeing as this year's display
has just been cleared as fit for human consumption, they didn't put one
on on their way back.

Certainly didn't hear it in Suffolk. Typhoons and Tornadoes (and
Raptors) live very close to here.

Thanks. The OP gave no hint.

To the east of Leeds - on the border of West and North Yorkshire. There
were reports of buildings being shaken, windows rattling and one of
glass being shattered.

Here I was in the kitchen near the boiler, the door of our boiler
cupboard rattled, the noise seemed to come from our boiler, so I
thought our boiler had exploded lol

Back in the 60s you could regularly hear sonic booms on Bognor beach from
experiments being undertaken by aircraft out of Farnborough performing
supersonic flights just off the coast.

And in Bristol in the early 70's we regularly heard the double boom from
the early evening out-going Concorde as it opened up over the Bristol
Channel.
