The Gatwick talk UK bureaucrats tried to ban - Philip Rowse presents Ian Hudson's Gatwick talk at DroneX 2024

Not forgetting the five police officers who allegedly spotted six more sightings not long after the security guard.

Exactly, more inexpert aerial observers who had already been told what to look for, and guess what, that’s exactly what they saw, at night in a sky full pf aeroplanes. Hysteria was setting in by this point, and everybody wanted to be the terrorist attack hero who saved xmas, not a situation conducive to rational thought…

Fuelled by the gutter press

Its very interesting this subject. It seems incompetence is winning the reasoning. Personally, knowing how corrupt the world is, I would say there is another reason for this sharade. MONEY!!!

Most of Gatwicks, internal systems, were old. Like 40+ years old. Now, just supposing there was a major failure of systems, right on the week when Gatwick was about to be sold? If it came to light that the systems had failed, could it affect the purchase price or perhaps kybosh the purchase altogether? Hmmm, sounds plausible.

So, an interference story is needed, one that will have every crap-eating tabloid salivating over it. Yes, you got it, a dangerous drone is on the loose.

Of course, this is all just speculation, until you take this into account. Gatwick Airport sold to France’s Vinci for £2.9bn days after drone chaos closes runways | The Independent | The Independent

I did post a similar comment onto the YT comments for the Philip Rowse video but mysteriously it seems to have been removed. Wonder why?

That’s interesting, but I would have thought Vinci, who are a big player and no fools, would have been well aware of the state of Gatwick’s old equipment long before the deal went down or this ghost drone showed up, or rather, didn’t). I doubt the imaginary drone business affacted the deal either way.

Plenty of conspiracy no doubt, but more in terms of covering up errors and incompetence.

Well sure, of course its conspiracy, certainly enough to make you go hmmmm…

After all these big companies always do thorough and complete due diligence on their purchases, just ask HP…
