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

Just to conclude this sorry tale.
The two innocent people who were arrested said they felt violated after their home was searched and identities exposed

Also
A suggestion by a senior Sussex police officer that there may have been no drones was later dismissed as a "miscommunication".
And then there is this info...
Days after the 'incident' at Gatwick Airport where NO drone was evidenced, a 50.01% controlling share of the Airport has been sold to Vinci Airports, are these two events linked?
See very interesting video here ...
I do remember @viridis mentioning earlier in the thread.'that there was something very weird going on'
It appears he was correct. Who knew??

I did love that by the police..
Am: there may have been no drone at all.
Mid day: meeting with ministers that have slammed the police for stating above.
Pm: it was miscommunicated.
Still... No drones.
67 sightings. 53 of those "credible" 4 Helis, 120+ police. An army squad, 1 skysnooper, 1 military grade air detector. 25,000 public, 42,000 if you include local residents.
Not one single photo of a drone.
