Just found out that the ski resort I'm at does operate on Xmas day. So should this continue I suppose a very white Xmas for me may be on the cards :/
Dunno tho, would rather go home from Austria tbh

Artillery barrage and flatten anything within 5 mile of the airport. No surrender!!

I say we nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

As far as I'm aware, they've grounded all flights till 7PM tonight.

 

[jakedude182]

Yep, they just called in the army.

I’m very surprised. I thought someone would have found a way to follow it when it goes “home” by now, if it’s still going on the 20 police units have had plenty chances surely

Army haha!

Full 5 years porridge

I’ll laugh if whoever's doing this has put a label on their drone along the lines of “Property of Manchester Airport”, or “if found return to Heathrow Airport PLC”....

 

[DJ85]

Yep, they just called in the army.

Just found a news channel army forces indeed!

He’ll be on the most wanted list soon........ and the no fly list

Nice.. I didn't think of that so added it

Probably going to get some new extreme drone law pushed through parliament after this.

The biggest thing about this for me (as a casual hobby drone user) is that they're saying they will introduce much tougher laws etc following this. The reality is whoever is controlling said drone (assuming that's what is happening) is already breaking the existing laws. Adding additional laws on training or licensing aren't going to impact this sort of person surely? If it's been going on this long surely that rules out naivety of the person controlling it...

I’m flying from Newquay on Saturday home for Xmas so hopefully it doesn’t start effecting other areas with congestion etc! Shame for the people at Gatwick as it is! A lot of people will be happy to see this person go down!
