Is it expensive to do? Have an old single storey stone house here where I was born and reared in a sorry state at the moment after a fire a few years ago. I know it would be a better job to go completely out of the new but planning is a nightmare where I am and it might be easier and a bit cheaper to work with what I have and avoid all the hassle with planning. Had heard from a few the external insulation was a good job alright but had no idea of cost. Will be stripping it back to the 4 walls whenever the time comes.

120/m2 Incl VAT will cover ya with €6500 grant plus carbon credits which in total.is nearly 7k back

Seems closed since last night. Hope they get the culprit. How much will that cost airport/airlines?

It'll be more than one culprit.

You'd have to have a few just to keep the drones charged up between flights and different landing/taking off points for the drones. Or else it wouldn't be going on for so long.

If it’s only making intermittent appearances then it could literally be one operator.
Very efficient method of protest or whatever it is.

Two at the start though...

Who's to say that different drones are not being used every time and abandoned where they land?

I’d say the marksmen are itching to have a pot shot at it.

Batteries are charged and fitted to drones......can be changed in seconds.

You'd think with the helicopters in the air and spotters on the ground they'd be able to follow the drone .....if batteries are being changed?

Ah I'm not buying it. Even if lights are off.

They must be suicide drones.

*Suicide as in not returning home or have someone picking them up.

It really shows the level to which a modern airport can be targeted, and by relatively common and affordble technology.
Also gives a lie to the abilities of the security services to track and contain a determined vigilante/terrorist.
All those TV shows like Spooks etc are really only illusionary bull****.

Will lead to a severe clampdown on the ownership and use of drones too.

I was reading on another thread the way it's possible for someone to lay out these drones say a day beforehand within 1km or so of the airport and have each one programmed to take off every so often and fly over the airport and then take a route out when the battery starts to get low and literally just fall out of the sky.

The airport could be closed for a while yet and all from a programmer.
The perpetrator could be in a different country since last night.

Are they in a shed
There's something wrong with your ventilation, could be too close or too draughty.
When I was bucket feeding calves I always considered coughing as a warning,
Have you taken their temperature

Anything that irritates the airways. Could be parasites, dust, chemicals or microbes. In your case its most likely microbes, the same ones that initiate pneumonia.

Haemophilus.
Mycoplasma.
RSV.
PI3.
IBR.

Amongst others.

Any other symptoms?
As wrangler asked - have you taken their temperature. Are they vaccinated. Have they access to hay, if so is it dusty. What bedding are they on, what is the ventilation like in the shed - the weather is unusually mild and settle in the last few days here so their could be a build up of stale air containing lots of nasties.

charolais0153 · 20-12-2018 9:25pm

Its only the one calf and its only the odd time. On woodchip.
No hay. Its a very airy shed . calf doesnt have a temperature

See they are saying some people sitting on planes for 5 hours not knowing what was going on, we did 2 hours in Heathrow on a plane with kids when they were very young, wouldnt wish it on anyone .

Your post said calves as in more than one.
Airy sheds can be bad too, we used to always have a sheltered 'nest ' for them, They'd lie out around the pen in the mild days and then tuck in under the nests on the cold days/nights.....first thing you get in an airy shed on a cold night is a down draught

Ask your vet for a shot of long-acting injection for him and keep an eye on the others.

_Brian · 20-12-2018 11:17pm

Drone still being spotted at Gatwick amd runway to remain closed tonight.

Whoever is runnning this is surely pushing their luck at this stage. Surely if they stopped now they would walk away. If the drone is captured I fully expect the owner will be traced and jail would be inevitable.
