Heathrow airport: Drone sighting halts departures

Departures at Heathrow have been stopped after a drone was sighted, the airport has said.

A Heathrow spokeswoman said they were working with police to "prevent any threat to operational safety".

She said: "As a precautionary measure, we have stopped departures while we investigate. We apologise to passengers for any inconvenience this may cause."

It comes after last month's disruption at Gatwick Airport after drones were reported.

ITV reporter Sarah Rodgers said she was one of those grounded at Heathrow while the investigations take place.

You mean they've not installed their Israeli anti-Palestinian rocket drone network yet? Smile

I'm bouncing up and down in anger here:

A few weeks back when the other airport was closed, they had various MPs on the news being interviewed. I heard the defense secretary on LBC telling us that Heathrow already had the anti-drone technology in place and because the systems were new it was gradually being rolled out to other airports.
So yeah - Heathrow has anti-drone systems in place. Not.
I can't believe someone from government has lied to us..

I've heard on the radio that the government are using the military at Heathrow to track where the drone came from..

What?? How?? Do drones leave snail trails that tanks follow or something?
This government are fucking nuts - do they really think we believe this??

Those lights aren't a drone though, for a start they don't have that strobe.

"With the most detailed account so far of the three days of disruption and the first in-depth interview with Gatwick since the attack, Justin Rowlatt asks what really happened. Why has no-one been caught? Was there a drone at all? And what needs to be done to protect our skies? "

EMP weapon Thumbs Up

All the planes might drop out the sky as well, but at least that climate change guy would get his wish.
