Perhaps I expect better from one of the more respected members of the ‘Fourth Estate:-

Perhaps we can use these drones as a potential target for the new METEOR missile? Scramble Q1 from CBY and see if he can see from BVR? (Sorry)

[Wensleydale]

Perhaps he should stick to riding dragons....

[SASless]

Aw Geez Ya'll!

Put a shotgun on a drone....and do the Counter Drone intercept thing.....job done!

Oh...sorryo....no guns allowed....just do the Kamikaze thing with a Drone v Drone....problem sorted.

Or....how's about an RAF Puma on standby with some Lads aboard with Lasso's.

Perhaps a Plod Team that tracks down the Drone and when the operator is apprehended they hold a public flogging by the Beefeaters at the Tower of London!

What's plumbing got to do with it?

[unmanned_droid]

Plumbing is about as relevant as most of the rest of the crap I'm reading about this incident today!

Used to be something called the Bird Control Unit. A few ounces of No 6 should sort it.

Happy Christmas to all except our American cousins; and Happy Holidays to them.

The V1 was powered by a pulse jet. It was NOT a rocket!

You've forgot the people's front of Judea.

Anarchist group generally looking to stir up trouble.

[Davef68]

My only real surprise is it's taken so long for someone to do something like this.

[Timelord]

Anybody any ideas about what military capabilities might actually help? ( Apart from a rock squadron “ dominating” the surrounding countryside!)

This kind of threat has been a problem in hot and sandy places for a few years now. Except there, they had improv grenades/explosives attached.

There are ways to deal with drones electronically.

The import of this kind of threat is a hard problem.

“We expect better of the fourth estate..”. So anyone, foreign power or no-mark attention seeker, can shut down any of our airports at will ....and we expect better of the press??

If they catch these little barstewards then 'Restorative Justice' would suggest a hefty fine + x00 hours spent working in 'customer services' at Gatquick as a suitable punishment
