Poor old Wales, its been reported that half of the 16 sonic booms reported in the last 5 years have been over Wales, resulting in a few claims off the MOD for compensation.
My family had a caravan near Corris and we were frequently "buzzed" by low flying Hercules in the middle of the night hugging the terrain. Did also have the odd jet during the day too. Great fun to watch, even better the once when the plane was low enough we could actually wave at the crew, who waved back!
We have a bungalow in Tywyn now and get far more jets flying overhead to the sea but not once have they pushed it to super sonic whilst i've been there.
Think these kind of things are inevitable. Our pilots need to train for combat and Wales has great terrain for this kind of simulation.
