Desperate stuff.
Flightradar24 is fascinating to watch.........for example BA2769 appears to have left Jersey 10 hours late, got close to Gatwick, circled for a bit and now appears to be heading to goodness knows where - possibly back to Jersey but looks low, so maybe even Bournemouth.........
There has to be something more to this than just drones - perpetrators will surely go public soon in some way, if only to claim they can now paralyse any airport they want, whenever they want.........

The Westjet still circling when all the others have scooted off?

The **** doing this will hopefully need to watch their back for a very long time when they're finally flushed out.

Some Crawley-based Clevor Trevor responsible presumably
It's off somewhere now (doesn't look like Gatwick though - Luton or Stanstead perhaps, or simply back to Glasgow)........guess it's down to fuel onboard and where they might be able to land........
The BA2769 has def diverted to Bournemouth (landed)
EZY3814 has clearly just been re-routed from Gatwick to Bournemouth, doing a u turn over the channel...........

It’s very rural around the airport, where as Heathrow is fairly built up.

The "attackers" whoever they are now just need to phone in that they think they've seen a drone rather than actually fly it to ground planes.

Only the one runway I would think?
Official Old Man
Uckfield Seagull
WS4101 from Glasgow. That wouldn't be the flight that circled over N Wales and landed in Glasgow.
I think it’s a more built up area so more places to hide?
Plus the run boundaries are close to the runway
My thoughts any way
I'm assuming that was on the way up? This one says Glasgow to Gatwick. It circled about 10 times over Sussex and is now looks like it's on its way back to Glasgow

Just picked up my wife's aunt from gatwick and, as we drove back down the slip road onto the A23, they announced that it was shut again. Close call and sympathies to any poor bugger stuck again
The maximum possible sentence is five years. The government could change the law but it can't be applied retrospectively.
And we've not yet reached the stage where people are denied the right to a trial

The clever thing, if they are flying the drone again, is to only start doing it after dark so it's harder to track. If they are after longer term disruption they could also not do anything for a few days then start again.twice the chaos then. maybe THPP is on to something with the perp having local knowledge
