RAF jets on night training manoeuvres are thought to be behind a series of loud 'booms' heard across Nottinghamshire. Residents near Newark and Bingham are among those who reported hearing the noises of the fighter jets, believed to be Typhoons from RAF Coningsby.
The sounds were first heard on Tuesday night but may go on for three weeks as pilots sharpen their skills in preparation for any assigned missions around the world. Online commenters drew attention to the loud noises overhead shortly after 9.30pm. Although the exact number of craft is unclear, an eyewitness said there were "lots" of them.
