Suspect No.1: Mr Gait
Suspect 2: Mrs GaitA gunner in the Royal Artillery, he did two tours of Northern Ireland and a stint in Bosnia during the war in the early 1990s.
'He was brave and served his country, and always did as he was asked,' his father said.
'There is no way he would ever put anyone's life in danger.'
After leaving the Army, Mr Gait worked as a security guard for the council in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, where he monitored the town's CCTV cameras.
If he witnessed suspicious or any anti-social behaviour, his job was to alert Kent Police.
Mr Gait now works for a double-glazing company, Allard Windows, in Crowborough, East Sussex.
His Facebook profile depicts him as an easy-going, hands-on dad who likes tinkering with toy planes.
He lists 'radio-controlled flying' as one of his interests and 'planes' as another. Two years ago, he reviewed drone company Vifly on Facebook, noting that 'the quality of the kits are amazing' and 'I look forward to dealing with them in the new year.'
His father insisted that his son would simply not have had time to carry out the Gatwick attacks because he was at work all week.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... ldier.htmlOthers defended Mr Gait's wife Elaine, whom he married in 2013. She has worked in sales for Unilever for the past 20 years. Her ex-husband Ian Kirk said: 'There is no way that Elaine could do this. She hates drones and she cannot even operate them.'
A former Unilever colleague added: 'She's a sweet, quiet lady who has a son who she adores. I can't see her being involved.'
Sussex Police confirmed last night that they had arrested two people 'on suspicion of disrupting services of civil aviation aerodrome to endanger or likely to endanger safety of operations or persons', which carries a maximum life sentence.

Re: Brain Dead Drone Operators at Gatwick Airport
What happens if you are arrested on suspicion of an offense, your photos, names and address are plastered all over the national newspapers, your home is turned over by the police and then you are released without charge?
Is there any comeback?
This seems much like an arrested rapist who has his name address and pictures announced to all and sundry and then it turns out he was innocent.
Surely a case for anonymity until actually charged?

Re: Brain Dead Drone Operators at Gatwick Airport
It seems to have fallen out of favour, faced with the general need for information ‘right now’, irrespective of its accuracy. Demands for updates before investigations have even properly started (air accidents?); damning judgements about a person before understanding the full story, and based largely on their own misguided behaviour (attractive and stylish white woman....?)TOG wrote: ↑Sun Dec 23, 2018 6:38 pm What happens if you are arrested on suspicion of an offense, your photos, names and address are plastered all over the national newspapers, your home is turned over by the police and then you are released without charge?

In an age of everything now, it seems that satisfying the demand for information, getting the scoop, has become more important than reporting accurately or protecting people. I fear this could happen to any one of us.

Re: Brain Dead Drone Operators at Gatwick Airport
Yes, isn't it terrible how these folks were smeared online by key-board warriors who just assumed their guilt and their political beliefs. I'd sue.TOG wrote: ↑Sat Dec 22, 2018 7:42 pm Two suspects have been arrested, male and female. The man was caught packing away the drones into a bag and trying to cycle away.
By their very nature, these activists always tend to be left wing eco warriors. I do not know of any right wing activists who would engage in such behaviour.
Yes you can separate them into left and right. It is usually the left supporters who try to stop you using these terms but the facts speak for themselves. Right wing activists are more intelligent and tend to operate within the law. Left wing activists have a total disregard for the law.
In a forum free from bickering, this is my opinion and I am not baiting or attacking any other member. Just as JUDGEDEDD has his opinion and he is entitled to say so.

The horse has already bolted and you have just started a religious war.
Bann yourself for 24 hours.
