An airport in southern England, and a recurring backdrop in the archive's British cases. 1991 was a busy year in its skies. On 17 June, passengers on a Dan Air 737 climbing out of Gatwick for Hamburg saw a wingless projectile pass below them. Then came 15 July 1991. A Britannia Airways Boeing 737 was descending towards Gatwick at 14,000 feet, and controllers confirmed a primary contact on radar 10 nautical miles behind it. Gatwick also offered ordinary answers. Lights over a pub in Tunbridge Wells turned out to be airliners on approach, and it lies about 20 km north of the Henfield police sighting of 1998.
