RAF Conningsbury has confirmed that QRA Typhoons were scrambled this evening, possibly down to an aircraft’s Mode-S Transponder been turned off which could indicate a hijack.

It is normal for Quick Reaction Alert Typhoons to be given Authority to break the sound barrier over land when scrambled & to be heard!!!

Many local residents reported that their house had literally been shook by the noise of the Typhoon breaking the speed of sound.

Early reports indicate that Air France flight AF1558 from Paris to Newcastle could have been the reason for the typhoons being deployed.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
