It’s a clickbait headline, there is no chaos, there does appear to be some additional costs from an approach path into Birmingham being unavailable during the launch and recovery of the drones.

At last the clouds clear for a while . Unfortunately comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS has faded somewhat , now about mag 5+ Anyone else managed to image it? In this image from a series of about 50 frames are what I think are two Starlinks passing by. https://i.postimg.cc/Gppr3b7x/two-sats-and-a-com...
