Spoiler alert! The latest FOIA to drop combined with an MOD one some months since, is pointing to there having been a #drone at #Gatwick likely some shitty toy that fell out of the sky of its own accord, probably even on the 19th (at the very outset) & the authorities were too embarrassed to admit they'd been chasing nothing for days afterwards. It's in the DfT's own Gatwick incident log that LGW had photos of something at the outset (which they never released to the press) but made it to the MOD. Interesting that Giles York told the parliamentary Defence Committee that no photos existed at all, which clearly isn't backed up by the log. Thereafter it was panic & a load of assets deployed, despite MOD advice against it, both kinetic & jammer equipment was in place and approved for use by the end of day 2. This was kit alongside that the MOD/RAF were deployed with which was showing there was no drone flying about from day 2 onwards.
