Gatwick's runway has reopened after drones caused the airport to shut down for more than a day.

Causing absolute chaos for 100,000 travellers pre- Christmas.

The airport felt this was a deliberate attack to cause as much upset to travel arrangements.

Airport authorities even called the army..

The last confirmed sighting of any drone was at 10 pm last night

As Sussex Police this afternoon confirmed they have found a 'damaged drone' close to Gatwick, Detective Chief Superintendent Jason Tingley said there was 'no available footage and they are relying on witness accounts.'

Asked about speculation there was never a drone, he said: 'Of course, that's a possibility. We are working with human beings saying they have seen something.'


So, these "confirmed" sightings, were just media BULL.

Key point:
"We're relying on witness accounts"

Proof, that all the aviation equipment, the army equipment, the skysnoopers....
FOUND NOTHING AND NO PROOF OF DRONE!
