"Out of interest were any windows shattered when the effects of sonic booms were tested over London(?) prior to Concorde entering service? "
Concorde was strictly subsonic until the Bristol Channel when it "lit up" and went supersonic...you wouldn't hear a supersonic boom in London, only in the South West
I suppose in those testing days it was assumed everyone would be buying them and transiting across UK supersonically
