Does it really matter whether assistance to the civil powers at Gatwick was provided by the RAF Regiment or some bunch of pongos from the Queen's Own Chinless Pwancers, the Royal Donkey Wallopers or whoever?

Although with the dung eaters' reputation for crashing their own drones, I guess it seems only fitting that they might have been sent to Gatwick to advise on how to crash other peoples'?

Whether Grayling's new 'no drone zones' around aerodromes will reduce the drone problem remains to be seen. Would a determined drone operator out to cause a public nuisance pay any attention to them? Somehow I doubt it.
