Typhoon aircraft were launched at super-sonic speed this afternoon to intercept a Latvian cargo plane, which was causing concern to air traffic control, the RAF said.
The aircraft was escorted to Stansted Airport and has since been cleared to continue its journey to Birmingham.
The sonic boom created by two RAF Typhoon jets scrambled to escort a Latvian jet has been captured on CCTV in East Sussex.
The sound was picked up by a camera at the home of Iain Dodsworth in Crowborough.
He tweeted: "Thought it was the house collapsing".
