Remember when LGW was closed for days due to drone activity? Has there ever been an enquiry or anyone arrested for this? It seems to have been quietly forgotten?
Guardian “long read” on the fun and games here:
The Mystery of the Gatwick Drone (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/dec/01/the-mystery-of-the-gatwick-drone)

Thanks for that Wiggy.
“We work on evidence, and I haven’t seen any. That’s really all there is to say,” one police officer with knowledge of the case said. That says it all really.

Since the incidents mentioned above, legislation has been enacted to make it an offence to hazard the safety of an airport and its aircraft by the use of a drone.

It’s a good thing that criminals read CAA notices. :hmm:
