Oh dear. This could get embarrassing for a few people....

Maybe Ch Supt Tingley should talk to Superintendent Justin Burtenshaw :-

"With pressure increasing to find the perpetrator, Superintendent Justin Burtenshaw, the airport's policing commander, said: 'Each time we believe we get close to the operator, the drone disappears; when we look to reopen the airfield, the drone reappears. I'm absolutely convinced it's a deliberate act to disrupt Gatwick Airport'. "
