This particular incident was after dark with a target that had mobile capabilities in all 3 axes. The sharpshooter would have to use a shotgun, or other short range weapon and be within range of, and have a clear shotfall area beyond, the target. Heathrow encompasses a very large area with airline ground, freight and mx operations within and businesses, homes and heavily traveled roads beyond, the perimeter. Deploying the sharpshooter effectively in a timely manner would be difficult.

Must have been fun to lose an engine on takeoff especially if you were the non-pic on the dual control version.

I can't imagine what it was like for mx to adjust the cabling for the throttles, and control surfaces on the dual control from either cockpit versions.

Thanks James. I think the Mustang Merlins were around 1400 HP.

According to the BBC one of their cameramen who happened to be driving on the M25 adjacent to Heathrow reported that he... "...could see, I'd say around 300 feet up, very bright, stationary flashing red and green lights, over the Harmondsworth area," he said. "I could tell it was a drone - these things have got quite distinctive lights - not a helicopter. "The lights were very close together. It was a very clear night and the object was stationary, it was turning very, very slightly. I could see it very clearly, I'd say for about four to five minutes." Some of my questions would start with...(1) Was his vehicle stationary or moving, and if so at what speed ? (2) What was his expertise for estimating altitude, location (and horizontal distance) ? (3) Was he driving his vehicle or was he a passenger ? (4) Were the red and green lights flashing (as quoted) or were they constant and if so was there a flashing white light ? (5) How many drones, and what types, has he seen operat

A single Merlin sounds really neat. How do two sound ? Did you ever hear any synch mismatch ?

Correction : "Altimiter" should read "Altimeter".

The BBC is reporting that the (presumably MX) log for the immediately prior flight of this a/c reads : "Identified that CAPT [captain's] instrument was unreliable and handover control to FO [first officer]," the log reads. "Continue NNC of Airspeed Unreliable and ALT disagree." Which the BBC interprets to mean the ASI and Altimiter readings were unreliable.

On second thoughts maybe there was an issue in maintaining cabin pressure during a long overwater flight.
