       FlightRadar shows the plane - an FGR4 model - took off near Grantham at around 8.30pm on Wednesday.

       It stormed down to Milton Keynes before U-turning, cutting up through Luton in Bedfordshire and flying over Peterborough.

       One person wrote on Twitter: "Sonic boom over Stamford. Shook the house. He was in a hurry!!"

       Another chimed: "Sonic boom! House moved!"

       A sonic boom sounds like a sharp crack of thunder and happens when an aircraft travels faster than the speed of sound.

       One person claimed they saw a "large orange flash" which stayed for about a minute after the bang.
