Re: Well, it HAD to Happen
It was someone selling a drone.. "quick cash sale as need to buy fake passport" etc. Obviously a spoof but very amusingly worded. Maybe pulled as even jokes get taken very seriously online. There was someone on twitter posting aerial photos of Gatwick yesterday saying he'd taken them earlier that day... people were all over it with messages to the Police pretty quickly! Obviously a joke, but...

Re: Well, it HAD to Happen
So an E3-D couldn't be stationed above Gatwick within hours and used to direct a full power radar burst at the drone (Considering something with the cross-section of a sparrow can be detected), this can fry hardened military grade circuits let alone an unshielded drone! on the other hand if it was not really a drone, what really closed Gatwick down? (Got to add in the conspiracy theory stuff!).
