Unlike a certain RN Sub Lt in an F3 who went over Arbroath at M1.6 and had the fire brigade racing around town looking for the explosion.
He was delivering a jet from LM to LU in the work up to GW1 when jets were being swapped/modded and took the opportunity with a clean jet jet to see how fast he could go. Hit M2, but didn't realise how far behind the jet the shock wave drag would be and even more shocked when it didn't immediately slow down when he closed the throttles - then was afraid to climb/turn until it did.
Yes, I was controlling him - and we got away with it as I was at Boulmer, and they asked Buchan if they had anything under control, and they said no as they were doing a SIMEX.
Unlike the time the F3 I was controlling did M1.1 down Amble High St at 250ft chasing an F-111. Quite a lot of broken glass and claims from that one......
Happy days.......
