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

Beginning to look remarkably like it @dgilbert2
Possibly all those Military "gongs" and P.Force "pips"
may have caused severe interference with the
detection equipment.

The one thing they do know....it was no drone.
To admit that would result in compensation claims rising to millions...
Also please note how quiet the press is now. Nothing, nada, zilch...

Who knows?
No evidence of a drone though. Maybe 'they' were hoping the takeover wouldn't go through....

Well, you see the Media likes to dress stuff up how they like. For instance.. check these prime stories from today

See how they make the drone the issue,... The reality is that police were called because of a man climbing the bridge, the drone itself has nothing to do with the story, or more importantly the bridge closure. That's not my opinion, that's confirmed fact by the highways England twitter account when directly asked.

He also had a phone, so media story stating the drone is cause, is the same as "Severn bridge closed after man scales tower to get decent signal on his phone"
More media crap, diverting from the reality of it all.

I did read that story @viridis
No surprise that my first reaction was...'Oh ANOTHER drone'. (which of course, is exactly the reaction the media wanted)
I'm sure many such stories will follow
