Police to work with plane spotters to prevent Gatwick terror attack :)
POLICE have promised to work more closely with plane spotters, who they believe can help keep Gatwick Airport safe from terrorism while carrying out their hobby.
The annual Gatwick International Aviation Enthusiasts Fair took place on April 17 in Crawley and police officers were among the exhibitors.

WTF
Royal Assent granted in the 1940s. Let Google be your friend
Badge approved in 1943, command and control structure already documented along with the Mission Statement (although we didn't call it that prior to 'Americanisation' - it was called Duty then), Health & Safety came under the MOD except for a short while under the Home Office.

This sort of co-operation has been going on at Luton for some time although sometimes members of Her Majesty's Bedfordshire Constabulary have never heard of it!
Enter SIX bored Paisley Policemen in a minibus coming back from a shout and they don't like the look of what's going on..... Three slept in the bus while one stood gaurd over me, the leader made many radio calls out of earshot and the woman just needled me to try and wind me up in a a faux mocking manner. I was "detained" for thirty minutes ( I checked ) while the leader, a PC mind, made sure I wasn't wanted then set out to find a reason, any reason to move me on. Some of the locals came over and expressed utter astonishment at what these guys had done. Utter overkill.
I reiterate the Airport Police are much more sensible but some of the local kids in uniform are beyond the pale. One of the issues with an oocasionally crushingly dull job is they decide to go and find someone to Police.

Quite handy to have another pair of eyes sometimes, as was the case when Ryanair stuffed a nacelle in on landing in Dublin, as reported recently.
In this instance the crew were not aware they had touched & the next crew didn't see the damage beneath the engine.
It was stated in the report that the incident was notified by " a member of the public", read "spotter" methinks.
In the past someone was employed to watch every take-off& landing, and normally someone was sat at the holding point checking over departures.
Tower controllers are too busy to give anything other than a cursory glance, & the man in the land-rover has all but disappeared, therefore a sharp pair of eyes are always welcome.
