Fair enough. I can drive like a twat perfectly well in a Citroen, there's no getting stuck behind me anyway
Gatwick Airport closed, because idiots are flying drones close to it.

Of course not, a quick dive to the left, a nifty undertake, whilst the window comes down to allow for a quick flick of the Vs and I'm offski.

Not a Girly Swot, but I like them....
The Irish government has called a meeting of various interested parties - they don't fancy having the same problem as Gatwick and the gossip is that the Irish defence forces have quietly been given the green light to ask for funding for a number of the systems the UK military has used to counter drones both in the UK and in northern Iraq.

I'm sure the mighty Air Corps can shoot them down out of the sky. Our planes aren't much bigger than drones anyway!

Never mind air travel. In America drones have apparently become the latest weapon in the local paedophiles' arsenal. Won't someone think think of the children?!?!

how fortunate they don't have to contend with the numpties in the british police flying drones round their airports.

I know. I was kind of disappointed when nothing shot out of that over-designed firearm.

If that was the case, then the skies over the Stanstead area would be packed solid with flying drones operated by Ryanair customers.

Ryanair doesnt have customers they're punters
Ryanair prefers the term “victims”

Hopefully other airlines were similarly affected.

Still no one caught then, did they really happen?
Reading this, it turns out commercially available drones have geofencing software programmed into them to prevent them being flown into sensitive spaces like airports
Drones are causing airport chaos – why can’t we stop them?

I remember reading about the geofencing software at the time, but also that it wouldn't be too hard to hack the software, should someone be so inclined.

In My Defence I was left Unsupervised
Tis possible that only the first one or two sightings were genuine and the rest were people overreacting, considering the chaos caused no-one is going to want to admit to overreacting and the actual perp(s) have realised how much potential shit they are in and gone to ground.
I myself prefer my own theory (which like all good conspiracy theories is backed by absolutely no evidence whatsoever) and that the whole thing was a distraction for something else and that the people behind it have achieved
what they wanted and no-one has yet drawn a connection between 2 apparently unconnected events.

On another thread Bahnhof Strasse mentioned how convenient the Icelandic volcano was, when he had messed up someone's booking.

A little info on how airports and the like can be protected from drones in the first bit of this Click, Drone Wars: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0003q9w via @bbciplayer

I saw that. Interesting the way the police asked the public to invent anti drone solutions, but also the way they developed ways to protect from anti drone measures. And it looks cool and fun!

At the end of the day the chances of bringing down a plane with a drone are pretty much zero. Even if you manage to take an engine out, all passenger aircraft can fly safely on one. And anywhere else it might impact, it will never cause serious structural damage that would compromise the ability of the plane to continue flying.
The real issue is the massive financial cost a two hundred quid gadget could cost to an airline, given that a single engine can cost up to 20m, plus all the associated costs having the aircraft out of service.
