Gatwick Chaos

Released without charge, unlucky feckers.

I think they are looking for this chap now...

Conflicting reports. One via twitter saying perps caught red handed at scene.

Others saying suspects arrested at home after posting drone review two years ago. Guy was at work when incident was ongoing.

Hope it's the former as the latter smells fishy. More precisely red herring.

It's not really a report if it's on twatter.

NickFitz reported it on here.


Reading elsewhere, appears the perp buzzed the tower allowing the authorities to get a good look at the make/model of drone being used and it's a rare one.

Hope that hubris is what allows them to be caught seeing as it looks like they weren't in fact caught in the act (poor showing NickFitz not getting corroborated evidence before posting on here ).

Shame the army getting involved looks to have been too late to use their fancy kit to trace the remote control signal back to source. So they'll now have to question all those that own the aforementioned rare drone to eliminate them from the enquiries.

They're offering £50k reward for information. One of my neighbours is a drone maniac (probably modern version of peeping tom, easier to get a look into women's bedrooms than climbing a tree) so I may grass him up just in case he's been to London recently. Got to be in it to win it.

I thought there was a branch of GCHQ devoted to tracking and locating the source of unauthorised or anomalous radio signals, what used to be MI8 during WW2 ?!

Luckily no one reported there names

And police checked some basic facts and let them go

The Daily Mail are in "substantial damages" territory with that front page.

They will try to claim they are calling the culprits morons but as it could be one person behind it then then their use of morons plural can only really mean they are calling them morons. And being arrested doesn't mean you are accused.

I'm going with 250k.

They (Daily Fail) will get away with it since they only asked a question, not stating fact...

Lawyers will make 250k though...
