Shooter branded a coward by airport director

The airport employee who shot and damaged a crucial piece of landing equipment with a shotgun, causing travel chaos last year, has been branded a coward by the Airport’s chief executive.

During an internal investigation into what caused damage to the Instrument Landing System, which helps pilots land in poor visibility, Doug Bannister said that nobody had come forward to admit shooting a vital cable while trying to scare birds.

The system was out of action for around four weeks while it was being repaired and hundreds of passengers experienced delays as fog hit the Island.

Since the incident, the Airport’s firearms police security has  been tightened.
