I must admit I was wondering that as well - especially as the Police now have their own drones and operators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bibs Posted December 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 I've spoken with the Airside Ops Manager this morning and offered to assist free of charge to them. The chap recognised my name which was nice from when I was part of a team that pitched to them a very high level surveying solution earlier in the year but he said that they have significant resources now on site looking for the cuplrit(s).

LF1 Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Bibs offering to use drones to find the people using drones "There was an old lady who swallowed a fly..." I don't understand how the batteries in these things have not run out already if it's just one guy. Or if he's bringing it home to recharge it why can't they just follow it to where it lands?

eeyoreish Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Cue some new legislation requiring all drones to be licensed? Sounds like some spotty teenager having a giggle with his toy.

Bibs Posted December 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Drone registration is due to become law in Nov 2019. To be honest, I'm not sure a spotty teenager could avoid the Police, Gatwick security and now the Military for well over 24 hours. This is all a little strange that's it's taking such a long time now. 1 Quote 88 Esprit NA, 89 Esprit Turbo SE, Evora, Evora S, Evora IPS, Evora S IPS, Evora S IPS SR, Evora 400, Elise S1, Elise S1 111s, Evora GT410 Sport Evora NA For forum issues, please contact the Moderators.

eeyoreish Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Be interesting to see who they eventually find is behind it. Then a few thousand passengers will be after their blood... One of the current Mrs H's friends was due to fly out to Goa for Christmas this morning. After spending the day at Gatwick they went home. Next available flight to Goa is in 5 days so they've now had to cancel their holiday completely. Quote Not worth starting anything now...🍺 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this day and age of everyone carrying a camera and filming everything that happens, along with the fact that the world's media are camped at Gatwick, why is it only two 30 second videos of possible drones have appeared? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
