A good day for justice. "Don't worry my friend, we'll sue them for what's rightfully mine. I mean yours." The legal costs would been a lot higher had it gone to court, but the compensation wouldn't have been. Maybe the police needed a few reminders? The alibi seemed a bit flimsy - "We don't own a drone and were both at work". I'm no Inspector Clouseau, but  reckon I could have confirmed or debunked that fairly quickly with resorting to any an early morning call with the Police Universal Doorkey.

Still, £55,000 for 36 hours work - could someone start a rumour about me flying drones near airports please?

I have liked (and I know you jest) - but I urge caution.  36 hours could turn into 37 years.  Forgive this being a Facebook link ... https://www.facebook.com/AGTLiveTour/videos/1131819503856215/

I certainly wouldn't try it in any of those former colonies where justice remains arbitrary, but we remain more tolerant over here, including of idiots. So I should be OK.

I'm sure that won't be a problem. Either limit the new runway to departures by quieter aircraft, or site the monitoring equipment somewhere you can get the required result. The test will be against 2019 levels, and Airbus NEO aircraft have increased in number since then.
