Phanerothyme   12 #61 Posted January 8, 2019 You're quite right. Just not keeping up to date with the story here. That would indicate people have flown drones within the Gatwick boundary without the whole airport closing wouldn't it? Unless they were police drones that crashed during the search, which doesn't fill me with confidence... Either way, the police have their work cut out to try and find the perps now, with the trail growing colder by the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Phanerothyme   12 #63 Posted January 8, 2019 Clever in a way. Now you don't even need a drone to close down an airport anymore, just a cheap PAYG phone from Tesco. Looking forward to the Ferry Ports, Tunnel Terminals and Airports being closed down for the summer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
