RAF close Heathrow airspace - no explanation
Angry passengers are demanding to know why they were left stranded for several hours after the RAF demanded air traffic controllers shut down Heathrow's airspace for around 30 minutes.

Gareth Corfield, defence writer for The Register, told MailOnline: 'From what I gathered, they shut the main Heathrow approach path for about 20 minutes.
‘You don't do that unless there's something seriously bad going on, because the cost of putting planes back into the holding stack is £10,000s a minute and that comes out of the Government’s pocket.’

Holy shit if true I am seeing multiple reports:

“ My brother works at Heathrow airport, and the staff were told there’s been a royal death... the RAF closed the airport to land an aircraft. It’ll be released tomoz”

Some are saying it’s Phillip...
