I'm a bit wary about naming people, assuming 'we've got them' before they've been charged, ( this goes for any arrest). His boss says he was at work during these attacks, just hope they've not made a panic arrest.

The police have to be seen to be doing something. The fact that they're all running round like headless chickens because somebody out there is much brighter than they are doesn't go down well with the proles.

Your wisdom has proved itself. The Police say that the couple are no longer suspects and have been released without charges.

Exactly, their names and pictures have been plastered all over the place and you got people demanding them to be hanged, think that’s a valid reason we don’t have the death penalty in this country.

Just looking at some of those front page headlines it is very depressing how quickly it develops into the lynch mob mentality.:(

I would imagine the 'evidence' was their next door neighbour calling in saying "The guy next door flies drones, and he was out yesterday, and has a van - oh and he also keeps parking in 'my' space on the road."

And if I was the couple - I would read every one and look for a potential case of libel and initiate a lawsuit against them.

This has a hint of the "Cliff Richard" saga all over again - the media never learns.

Re: Drones ground flights at Gatwick
 

Indeed there are plenty of lawyers out there who would very willing to help them look for a potential case of libel and initiate a lawsuit against them.

l am all for freedom of the media but it seems to happen time after time and l think the time is right now for proper regulation rather then this oh so weak media self regulation.

BREAKING: Police tell BBC News that they cannot discount the possibility that there may have been no drone at all.

This incident is growing more bizarre by the hour....

Re: Drones ground flights at Gatwick
 

Nothing screams government cover up like “it wasn’t anything at all”. I suppose “it was a weather balloon” has been done.

Re: Drones ground flights at Gatwick
 

We have completely been flummoxed by somebody who is more expert than our experts so we have to clamp the story down.

Re: Drones ground flights at Gatwick
 

Infinitely more likely than collective mass hallucinations.

Re: Drones ground flights at Gatwick
 

I can see the next headlines now:

**Russian stealth drones baffle experts**

**MOD says UFO activity cannot be discounted**

**China unleashes secret Holographic Display technology and causes havoc**

Take your pick, or come up with you're own :D

Re: Drones ground flights at Gatwick
 

Apparently the Police have a crashed drone found near the perimeter at Gatwick and are doing forensics on it as we speak.
