If it was in the US, it could've been two Phantoms and a few extra batteries - but they'd be "MilSpec" (military specification).......*sarcasm* kind of.

I thought it would be someone with a foreign background, going by the surname I reckon this turns out to be the case here!
I don't Know what make of drone he was flying but it appears he lives right next to Heathrow airport and apparently was flying in the field behind his house. No recent DJI or Yuneec product would even start their motors at that location. So, he has either hacked the software or was flying something that doesn't have NFZ's built into the drones software. An incredibly stupid thing do, as he lives no more than 100 metres from the airport perimeter!

Just to iterate where this utter Numpty resides and the field/green area close by as other news sources have pointed out.
I bet it's already been investigated if he has acquaintances in the borough of and around Gatwick with the same mindset?

And just a few hundred metres from Polar Park Police station. LOL!

He wasn't reported, all they had to do was look out of the office window.

It's encouraging to see that 'Dronicus Idioticus' is starting to go into decline due to 'natural selection' ... (He flew his drone in a stupid place, so naturally, he will lose it!).

Anything from your side of the pond about Gatwick. Kind of hard to believe the fiasco happened after a month. Do they want everyone to forget it happened?

I can't figure out what the news is, or indeed if there is any new information at all.
Is it something like the drone operator must have had inside info because the drone flew only during police tea breaks?
There is no new info. Apart from perhaps the dim-wit authorities drawing to what could be considered an obvious conclusion. They are just digging up old news and the media will jump all over it. Still no pictures of the 2 drones that the rozzers say they have in their possession, after nearly 5 months..... And if what I read above is correct, a whole half hour on the subject with Panorama kicking the arse out of it. LOL! Panorama, that bastion of investigative journalism and unbiased reporting......NOT!
I still think this was perpetrated by someone wanting to sell anti-drone systems. When in doubt, follow the money.

Which just proves to me that you knew the source of the story existed or at very least knew where the source could be found and were just spoiling for an argument..that’s why I miss-quoted.
I had read the whole article.
I had originally written that they believed the majority of the sightings were of their own drone, but thought I’d just test my theory out and see if you caught the bait...
You might have to start screening people you help. This guy just admitted to trolling you, and intentionally spreading misinformation for his own sick purpose. I'm surprised @dirkclod has not warned him. Wasn't he crying earlier that you "Offended" him and wanted an apology? It makes me laugh sometimes, the first defense of a troll is to try to turn the tables and place the blame on their intended victims... glad you didn't fall for that pathetic attempt to discredit you.
