Experienced the trials in the sixties over East Anglia, one rogue one over Berkshire in the 70s, three or four from the French concorde whilst sailing across the channel and latterly annual ones from the French airforce.
The Concorde ones seemed much louder and frightening - first time I thought we had hit a mine (wouldn't be the first time although fortunately it didn't explode).
And contrary to a previous opinion they did do damage - odd window and a vase.
