Fighter jet taking an unresponsive plane to stanstead it seems. Must be some issues with it as they’ve (as of 3:30) sent two more from the same base (RAF Coningsby) to get involved too.
Did anyone else experience the sonic boom? on 13:56 - Jan 12 by The_Romford_Blue
Heard it in Romford.

Sonic boom: two RAF Typhoons were launched from Coningsby to intercept a private jet that lost communications. Jets authorised to fly supersonic hence boom over Cambridgeshire area. Jet escorted safely into Stansted. Incident now over.
One potential cause could have been this Bombardier Global Express registration D-AFA, which is arriving into Stansted after taking a rather erratic flight path at the time of the #QRA scramble pic.twitter.com/w3cYE5vDcy
