My mistake Migman.....that's what comes of reading too fast..... :dance:
D'oh wake up Bridon....!!
Still a very interesting quiz though

(edit: I suspect there will be a plethora of WWII fighter aircraft that will qualify to lay claim to this achievement...many no doubt were unaware of the actual moment due to the simplistic instruments carried at the time)

Hi Chaps
Well, this is a very informed forum!
Without giving to much away (for now at least!)................
Well done Gordon (Anzaq), Pete (Motormouse) and Peter Mcleland
As far as I know - the FIRST British aircraft to exceed the speed of sound was the DH108 on the 6th September 1948 when it achieved Mach 1.04.
Quite an amazing performance at the time.............
Best regards
Paul
