It has been said that an engine would be severely damaged by ingesting a drone, but would it? Back in the 80s a company I worked for made a cannon for firing dead chickens into Rolls Royce aero engine . Mind you I wasn't privy to the test results. Phil They used to do that years ago to test aircraft windscreen surviability. Worked well until someone bought frozen chickens!!

I'm sure that the results would not be eggsact due to the nature of the projectile. May have been a little more accurate if said birds had been alive. Eggsactly. All the variables should be kept as close to a real life situation as possible - I mean, a 1kg + nearly flightless bird is just the ticket to launch at a jet engine, even if doesn’t reflect the type of bird you could encounter such as swans geese or albatrosses for shits and giggles it must have been worth while reminds me of this Forgotten how bloody hilarious Blaster Bates was. Still love his "shower of shit over Shropshire"!!!!

If they are using legit frequencies, chances are there are lots of other devices using the same ones, so too much 'noise'. If they aren't using legit frequencies, what what would they look for? If they aren't supposed to be there, in the 1k exclusion zone, how many conflicting devices can there be. Do other gadgets use the same frequency? Yep - domestic WiFi. Anyhoo - seems they have got 'em. I suspect a combination of some very sophisticated kit and good old fashioned eyes and ears on the ground.

If it was indeed the man and woman arrested, then I think they are going to pay a very heavy price for their few days of madness, not just in terms of prison sentences but future lives spent living in constant fear of reprisals.

If you lived in Crawley, you'd have to do something to entertain your self.

The arrested pair have been released. Emphatically stated by police upon release that they had no connection with the drones over Gatwick. The scum mail and other papers printing pics of the couple, and demonising them with no evidence just goes to show how low these scab reporters will stoop. Fuckin freaks.

We are no closer to finding those responsible which gives the conspiracy theorists something to do...
