Just looked at the flight radar thing. Gatwick seems to be working as per normal. Although there's a lot of stuff on the ground planes seem to be coming and going pretty regularly.

Crowdstrike?

'CrowdStrike is a US-based American cybersecurity firm that helps companies manage their security in "IT environments" — that is, everything they use an internet connection to access. Its primary function is to protect companies and stop data breaches, ransomware and cyber attacks.'

Well, it seems to work a treat. :lol:
