You wonder whether it is an deliberate attempt to dispute the airport, or just stupid people.
Image the costs incurred by the airport, airlines and the passengers as a result. |

LGW is reportedly planning to widen its ‘emergency runway’ so it can be used as a ‘genuine’ second runway. If not be surprised if this is some overbaked protest against the second runway and the additional flights it would surely attract. |
Tonight's news mentioned (and not corfirmed) that an enviro greenie group maybe involved.
Also Army snipers are positioned around the airport to attempt to shoot down the drone. |
Gatwick has turned into an aerodrone.
