My insurance (not with Amex) does cover natural catastrophes, including ash cloud but I somehow doubt they'd cover the drone disruption (it's obviously not mentioned in the policy) I don't want to call them today to ask because I'm sure they're busy enough but will do once everything is back to normal.
ETA: my insurance is via a packaged bank account but is provided by AXA - looking on their website, they've added a specific section for LGW drone disruption and state they are including it under their Travel Disruption section and will provide cover for reasonable additional accommodation and travel expenses. I am actually impressed.
