It's more than a few with written off cars I'm afraid and BAA are refusing to accept responsibility at all, blaming the owner of the river, the contractors they employed for dumping rubbish in the river, the airlines etc. In fact, everyone but themselves!
Good old BAA. 2 cxxk ups at Gatwick in 4 days!

Hey all
By sounds of it what i have heard 300 cars were involved int he flooding, with at least 70 been written off as we speak!
BAA are fully accountable for this, we need to get all airlines all staff involved in this mighty BAA cok up to get together and fight the BAA!
Anyone who is affected by this please post on here any updates, how many of your airlines/company employees are affected, so that we can get proper figures to all that need them!

BAA charge the airline company for the privilege of the airline employee parking in this car park so, surely, it must be BAA liability for the damage.
If the BAA wish to blame someone else (a local landowner) then they must, in turn, claim against the landowner.
The BAA will have insurance for such things happening on their property.

Pam would also like to know "where not to park" in X car park 
Can anyone advise where/which parts to steer clear of? Of course it's BAA's fault, time they took some responsibility!

Having been off for a few days and also a user of the delightful 'X'...this is just disgusting. I hope some people get some money out of the BAA for this.
Head right down to the bottom guys, last bus stop, never seen it flooded down there and you can overtake the inbound busses and still catch it!!!!! (Nobody really does 30 on Perimeter Road South right!?!)

Thanks for the advice! No more chasing the bus for me then either! I'll park near the first bus stop or near, and if I'm late at least I'll still have a car when I get back from where ever it is that Pam needs to be.
Apparently Sat afternoon the Gatwick Tesco just past the Holiday Inn had flooding of customer car park within a very short space of time with customers running from the store trying to get their cars away.
The drainage system for Gatwick goes into River Mole and it couldn't cope.

Mine flooded too.
Yep, I was parked bottom right, wish I'd known the history of the site, would have stayed on the high ground. Vectra now with Stevens Vauxhall, Crawley, having estimates prepared for the insurance co. Seems the water was up to the door handles. Bugger

A group led by Virgin Atlantic and EasyJet has pulled out of the bidding for Gatwick airport, The Times said today, citing a spokesman for Virgin Atlantic. The group will not put its own money into any deal, offering just advice to other bidders instead, the spokesman told the newspaper.
A unit of Germany’s Hochtief AG, and Citigate Infrastructure, a group including Citigroup Inc., will probably bid for Gatwick, while Manchester Airports Group has been unsuccessful in raising financing so far.
