Peace is disturbed
It is Armed Forces Weekend at Cleethorpes and, for the second day, the Typhoon demonstrator has been showing what large amounts of power in a small airframe can do. I live about half a mile from the seafront but as the Typhoon turned away I could see the orange glow from the afterburners followed by the intense noise that rattled your bones.
Watching an aircraft go from near stall speed into a vertical climb is impressive though.
Unusually, this year, they had the Spitfire and Hurricane on their own and then later the Lancaster which was tailed by the Typhoon (flying in a very nose up attitude, presumably to keep pace). After the Lancaster departed the noise began.
