Gatwick flights suspended after reports of drones over runway
- Thread starter Jagerbomb52
- Start date
Just enjoying the read... waiting for Chapter 2 of Pat O. Wells, War of the Drones.
Have a look on this so a couple weeks back typhoons scrambled from Scottish base to intercept unified object but nothing found then Tyler from secureteam posts this and if you read the comments 1 from Ireland thy had similar yet never got this amount of coverage
PatR with your theory anything is possible who is not to say u have hit the nail on the head look we have all seen terminator well ever since Google started I have always said Google will be the skynet of the future look they have the robot development program aswell
"Paul Motts says he saw a man in hi-vis clothing packing two craft into a rucksack before racing off on a bike "
do you really think that somebody doing this would wear hi-vis unless of cause they work for the government or large entity

I'm guessing you haven't seen Ally Law's YouTube Channel then ?! That guy and his crane-climbing, overnight challenge, parkour-style friends very much appreciate and deploy the 'Power of the Viz' to help them get away with their low-level law breaking
Interestingly, he trolled the Gatwick incident as well, then had to make a hasty video to apologise !

Let’s just hope this whole thing comes to a very conclusive end. Looking ahead, these terrible acts in the long run will end in all of us honest pilots being very inconvenienced by drones being manufactured with more sophisticated firmware to lessen our enjoyment. If it hasn’t done enough already. It will start the wheels turning in the governments heads and likely further cripple our airspace. Just imagine not being able to exceed 200 feet rather than 400. Just something to think about
In the US they are trying to pass local legislation to make flying less than 200 feet illegal (privacy concerns). Yet people have no qualms about being monitored by video cameras everywhere they go, and don’t think twice about someone with there smart phone taking video and pictures everywhere.
Heck, if I want pictures of scantily clad people all I have to do is walk along most any beach with my phone and get better results than with my sUAS. If there is inclement weather the Internet has a plethora of the same.
The only drones we really have to be concerned with are the ones the military uses. They can and do carry armament and can get better imagery than what we are capable of.
First picture of crashed Gatwick drone..... At last, I've been waiting for this for 4 days now...
No, no.. that was just 'miscommunication' !
Yes, no, yes, no, yes, no, maybe...

Any way you want. I look forward to reading the various responses. I already provided the opportunity to say I’m nuts, although nobody needs permission to do that
In other words, there really were no drones but they are being told by people higher up the food-chain that there were!
67 confirmed sightings and not one decent photo or video, yeah right......

Hard to choose a favorite. The first is most plausible, but the second has some credibility. Just look at the UAS conference in the US recently that had no representation for the hobbyist or small commercial pilots. Only big business and how they can take over and control the airspace beneath General Aviation airspace.

Bet you fell out of your chair, when you saw that...

Indeed. If you were’t picky the less attractive ones provided higher positive percentages. Once you cut the wedding cake the odds of success fell precipitously.

It should never have crashed with 5 rotor mode engaged.
