Both came back to Teesside around 15:15 today with Cobham Falcon G-FRAW Vader 61 .
They stayed high and broke off , departing to the south .

Sorry if it's a bit off topic, but North Yorkshire Police are reporting two sonic booms, would they be our Tiffies?

It's on their Facebook page ;
https://www.facebook.com/NorthYorkshirePolice/ . The Typhoons didn't sound too loud as they departed and were probably headed off over the moors climbing through cloud rather than towards Bedale ? It's been a busy couple of days up here with plenty of activity from the Leeming Hawks as well as Tornado , Typhoons and F-15's with even a Hunter in the Leeming circuit !

My thoughts exactly David, although the Typhoons stopped half of Middlesbrough, they weren't overly loud. It has been very busy up here lately, with two Tonka's overshootong Newcastle at 16:15 and a Hercules due to overshoot Teesside later this evening.
