Lots of folk hoping to fly off the rock are being inconvenienced. Personally I blame Putin, or the PLA, or maybe even Junker Macron ..... This has to be one of the most cost effective uses of tech to cause economic disruption that I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phantom Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Yep Mother Phantom was on the flight from IOM to Gatwick last night. It got diverted before landing to Manchester. At 2am she was on a coach to Gatwick and arrived there at 7am. Luckily just going to the London area with no connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolley Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Nobody blamed Brexit yet? Seriously, I've been waiting for this to happen, and am astounded that it (or worse) hasn't happened until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you thought I was literally sitting waiting for it to happen for years before going on to do anything else then you picked up the wrong end of the stick. I thought that would be obvious, but clearly I expect too much. It just seemed like something that the idiots would jump on and exploit sooner than they have. The really bad idiots and the just simple idiot idiots. I am saying it's an easy way to cause maximum hassle for a lot of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it to indicate how you're cleverer than the OP by recognising that Gatwick is not on the Isle of Man? It happens almost every time there's a post in this sub-forum that isn't exclusively confined to a 15 mile radius around Foxdale. So what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're working up to it. In reality they have been since 24/6/16. But I do think there will be a lot more "me too" nutters with drones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
