Fascinating. Does anyone know if this was the first supersonic flight in Australia? I remember being at RAAF Richmond at about the same time (aged six), and witnessing what I believed was the first one. Neither Wiki nor Google seem to be any help.

Great to listen to!

This site seems to agree with it being the first, but Scott sounds so calm on the recording - maybe he practised it a few times before this date? :)

Thanks, clears that up. The Richmond one was impressive enough though; possibly because I was already besotted with aeroplanes, and headed for a flying career. Sadly never flew a fast jet, but still had a lot of fun times.
