People giving or receiving drones as gifts this Christmas have been reminded to check the rules and restrictions for flying them near to Gatwick Airport after ‘GQ’ magazine listed drones among its top technology gadgets for Christmas.

Sussex Police deals with more than 200 reports per year of people flying drones within the 5km restricted flight zone surrounding the airport.

Alongside the 5km restricted flight zone, Gatwick is also reminding drone owners that they may need to register themselves as an operator via the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
