wow, it seems I accidentally resurrected this post after googling "loud bang Wirral". I was at work on Thursday 5th June and heard a massive bang as I walked across the factory to speak to a colleague. The bang sounded quite far away, possibly out to sea. It shook the roof of the factory and caused a load of dust to fall from the office ceiling. Some of the office staff came out including all of our top brass to see what was going on as they thought one of the shop floor staff had blown something up or injured themselves.
I spotted a right noisey b*****d jet flying over a while later, which I thought at first was a Harrier, but might have been a Tornado with its wings swept back flying away from me towards Liverpool.
However, I was always under the impression that a sonic boom is only audible from behind the jet and only at close range. i think the bangs you are reffering to are the docks in bootle. They are resizing the docks, making them bigger, my uncle lives on new brighton front and his room shakes with the booms. i saw the harrier fly over our work too, being close to the sea we see them quite often.

I took the dog out this morning , about 7.30 , along the Derby Pool . There was 2 low deep bangs , about 5 mins apart , that i could feel through the ground . It seemed to come from out in the Bay . There was a boat/barge/work platform out there just to the left of the wind farm. My feeling was it came from whatever that was doing.

Harrier? We don't have any anymore, do we?

Nope we don't. We refurbished them at a cost of many millions of pounds and then, effectively, gave them away to the Yanks.
