Conspiracy theorists of this world have been wrapped up in to a frenzy on this drone incident at Gatwick, they will be saying next there was more than one Drone Controller and they were standing on a Grassy Knoll.

Re: Drones ground flights at Gatwick

Makes you wonder what Grayling and Javid were doing while all of this has been going on.

Can't believe it took so long to clear them. Feel sorry for them.
