the airport had security by private and police with very regular patrols,
Did we become predictable did we?
Anyway one tries to explain it away....the end result is the same....Plod walked on their Willy on this one!
Not the Airport, not the very regular patrols, not the Tea Girl.....but the Plod Air Unit and their Plod management responsible for the Operation.
I know this is the very first time in history a Police Aircraft has ever been attacked and all but really folks!
As a famous poster here once said...."The longer you try to prove a problem does not exist....the bigger the problem really is!" (Or words to that effect by Nick Lappos)
