Look up how much ground Gatwick covers. Itâs not difficult to work out safe range.
Theyâve said they havenât(they could of course be lying again). You donât need the DVLA, just enough people that have the gift of sight and some vehicles. Where was the police helicopters and drones(they do have them)?
Did they learn nothing from Salisbury about making fools of themselves.
I have no idea what is going on and i wonder if thatâs deliberate. Just mentioning some obvious problems, that should be easily dealt with, by any 3rd world country(or anyone with enough money to buy the drone in the @pap video).
Remember how long one of our major airports was put out of commission and how many people that affected.
Thatâs embarrassing and not even catching them over such a long time frame, just adds insult to injury. What a shambles.
More than anything else, itâs an example of how laws donât mean shit if youâve no effective way to enforce them.
Is it likely that a government that has spent the past eight years cutting 20,000 front line coppers, while diverting funds into counter-terrorism is going to have spun up a special anti-drone squad?
As you allude to yourself, probably not.
In that sense, it is utter incompetence on the part of the government, spending money on implementing the legislation it knows fuck all about implementing.
There are old reports on the potential for drones to be a danger for airports(iâd go as far as to say, even on the TV), so they knew, they have drones themselves(used to spy on demonstrations), buttwere powerless to stop it, for how long?
And here we go again.
Gatwick airport: flights suspended again due to âsuspected drone sightingâ â live
Schoolboy error there @Won-Ton - weâre dealing with our authorities/ government here. Too obvious.
Thing that struck me about the latest âalleged drone sightingâ is that it was dark and drones arenât exactly big, compared to your common or garden Jumbo. So who is doing the âspottingâ and how?
Maybe the armed forces are using some technique weâre not allowed to know about, or more likely someone phoned Gatwick / the police after seeing a carrier bag being blown about in current windy conditions.
Iâm just waiting for it to be blamed on the Russians. Care to wager anyone?
