A news report I listened to early this morning (which admittedly I haven't heard repeated since) stated that there were "several" drones flying over the airfield which made me wonder if whoever is doing this has at least two units so that one is always on charge ready to take over from one returning with a low battery.

The news is currently saying the Police have 20 units out looking for those responsible but that's going to be a real needle in a haystack search unless they get lucky - the controller could quite literally be miles away from the airport, sat on a hill somewhere, in a car, in an outbuilding etc. They might never be found.
