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.

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!

I like the comments on The Reg articles. Someone suggested a wall, and that drone owners should pay for it!
