diginagain- sure that wasn't the usual happenings at the Berkeley Centre that you heard?
I remember hearing the booms into the late 1990s as well, being resident in the same town. Occasionally, later on, there would be another boom which I took to be Project Aurora

Might have been Tyacks.

You could set your watch to the sonic booms over Oklahoma
Oklahoma City sonic boom tests - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An FAA-hired camera crew, filming a group of construction workers, were surprised to find that the booms signalled their lunch break.

To The Kernow Lads
One clear midsummer evening whilst lying at anchor on the South side of St Mawes creek, a friendly dolphin playing with the dinghy when the tranquillity of the evening is disturbed. To the South glinting in sunset at the head of it's contrail is AF's Concorde inward bound. A second boom and there is a mirror image as BA heads up the Bristol Channel.
This double sonic boom generally about 20 minutes apart was a nightly occurrence in the Dutchy during the 70s. After the assurances that BA were starting their let down further West the first boom still was regularly heard in Lanner.
For those blaming Tyacks if there was a second bang it was probably the Penventon! For those requiring research as to why these bangs persist long after the withdrawal of Concorde

As the husband of a Camborne maid I can neither confirm nor deny anything you may hear about them.
Mostly because I wish to keep all my vital parts intact and operational.

last time...
According to a book I read years ago, booms have occurred in Cornwall and Devon for several hundred years; I believe they're referred to as 'barisal guns'.

Well done chevron. That is a new word for my lexicon. I will use it frequently from now on - but I wonder how many will know what it means? (I am not aware of Bangladeshi's living in my area!)

Well, I guess you really do learn something new every day:

The sound of freedom indeed.
The sound of free englishmen and women rising to complain whether in the right or wrong.
That they are able to do this without fear of a knock on the door in the middle of the night. That is freedom. Long may they moan (even when wrong).

What is wrong with a Sonic boom once in a while ?
The Peterburgers have nothing to complain about. they should have been in Dhahran in 1991 when you were frequently woken by the sonic boom of a Patriot leaving the tube, an excellent indication that a Scud was inbound, The Scud usually made a much bigger bnag.
