https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-46676762 So. I did ask why this issue had not happened elsewhere and it would seem the answer is simple, the operators of Gatwick had not bothered to make the investment. Seems there isn’t any requirement from the authorities either. Beggars belief.

“The suggestion there may not have been any drones at Gatwick Airport was a "miscommunication by police", a government source has told the BBC.” FFS.

:lolol:

This doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. If you were wrongly arrested, but had a cast-iron alibi, you’d immediately tell the police yourself who the alibis were.

They’re not called the nasty party for nothing.

Given the Keystone nature of the Sussex Police response I wouldn’t dismiss them spotting their own drones.

:lolol: Bit like when the Cubans arrested those British plane-spotters and charged them with being spies.

This answers one of my questions from yesterday...as I thought it odd this had not happened until now. Obviously other airports are much better prepared.

I’m not one for conspiracy theories but this does all seem a bit odd.

Jeeez. That’s cutting it fine for Xmas. Fingers crossed.

The missus has just landed at LHR. There goes my peaceful Xmas :lolol:

Good luck fella!

When you have a government which routinely starves the country of vital funds, “more money” is usually a good starting point.

You’re reading way too much into a flippant question resulting from tiredness.

What a palaver. Hope it works out. Good luck.

I share some of your thoughts. I will be interested to know what laws and controls etc are in place in other countries and major airports. Could a drone do this in NYC? And why has it taken so long for someone to do this? Drones have been around for a long time now

It’s the Missus turn tomorrow!

Has Gatwick reopened?
