Drone saga pantomime
The Gatwick Airport drone saga is developing into a pantomime.
There were more than 60 reports of drone sightings at Gatwick Airport. High-tech equipment was brought in but it failed to detect any drones.
But wait, police have identified two suspects. Oh no they haven't!
The suspects are innocent model aircraft enthusiasts and they have been exonerated.
Another development - there may not have been any drones at all.
Perhaps some birds were misidentified as drones. As I write, a broken drone has been found near the airport perimeter. Is it the culprit or is it just a case of fly-tipping?
I'm thinking of taking up clay pigeon shooting. If I can shoot a clay pigeon, I can shoot down a drone and I will offer my services to Gatwick Airport. I think I can fix the problem in two hours, rather than two days. Rex Hora, Earley
