The idiots flying these drones need to be punished by having to clean all the tarmac areas at Gatwick with a toothbrush before they are able to go anywhere near a drone again.

The thing with drones is how do can you stop them? Practically impossible if some nutter wants to create mayhem..

These things happen. Luckily I used a free upgrade for this flight so can start drinking the lounge dry once it's socially acceptable to start doing so.

Agree. Shit happens. I’m gonna to get myself a nice breakfast then head to the airport.

PS you’re at an airport. It’s socially acceptable to drink the minute you arrive regardless of the hour.

Feel for anyone put out by these morons flying drones.

BUT ...... you do have to wonder about some people ....

'Ms Jaworska said she thought it was "strange" that two drones had led to the closure of the airport.'

What exactly would she expect to happen ? For the airport just to wait and see what would happen when a drone gets sucked into a plane engine ?

And then she follows up that remarkable statement with this ....

'"You would imagine there would be better security in place and emergency action for something like that," she added.'

Like what ? Surface to Air missiles to bring down the drones ? :facepalm:
