A damaged drone found outside the airport perimeter, a man in a yellow jacket scrambling to put a drone back into a bag, several people claiming to have seen a drone.
It doesn't all add up unless, of course, everyone involved was seeing things.

Yesterday a drone hampered fire fighting efforts on Bruny Island, Tasmania causing all water bombing aircraft to be grounded.https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-12-...sland/10668374

Re: Gatwick Airport: Drone sightings cause delays
Talking of the police today, I've just been watching that well known old black and white film, 'The Blue Lamp'.One of the first lines on that film, spoken by a judge at the Old Bailey was:
"This is perhaps another illustration of a disaster caused by insufficient numbers of police. I have no doubt that one of the best preventives of crime is the regular uniformed police officer on the beat."
It occurs to me that Mrs May has probably never watched that film.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-46709353Giles York told the BBC Radio 4's Today programme he was "convinced the grounds for arrest were well-founded".
He added: "I'm really sorry for what [Mr Gait] has experienced and the feeling of violation around it.
"[But] what might have been worse as an experience for him would have been to be released under investigation still.
"We were able to exhaust all our lines of inquiry on that first instance and were able to release him from police custody saying he was no longer a suspect."
A suggestion by a senior Sussex police officer that there may have been no drones was later dismissed as a miscommunication.
Mr York said police received 115 reports of sightings, including 92 confirmed as coming from "credible people".
However, he admitted that police drones launched to investigate could have caused "some level of confusion".
