Around 1956 during a practice for an air show the RAAF senta Sabre to break the sound barrier. It rattled all the windows in de Havs andbroke many in the area. They didn’t repeat it at the air show.
Similar thing happened at Laverton in the late '60's early '70's. Someone in a Mirage (or was it an MD Phantom?) bought most of the the windows within a 5 mile radius for the RAAF when they had things cranked up a little too much!
