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!).
