(can’t see them sending a Reaper over Gatwick, can you?)
Yes it sure is. All of our ISTAR assets are there including the Reapers and that clunky old thing we bought from the Yanks

Now funny you should mention that. There's a block of airspace: TMA1 just to the East of Gatwick with an upper level of 19,500ft. Now just above that up to 25,000ft is where the Reapers normally operate.

I've been watching for the past few hours (on Flightradar24 and *cough* something else) anything around that block between FL240 and FL260 vectored further North parallel with the M25 so it does make you wonder.
