Has anyone got a drone ? My son has a tiny little one that can just fly around the lounge room but they're everywhere for business or photography or hobbyists.
'Hidden Britain by drone'. (Tony Robinson really has been on so many shows over the years, walking Britain or digging it up with TimeTeam)

They're becoming ever popular over here Batgirl. We had one for work purposes - cost well over a grand. First flight it went on to assess accessibility on site and the operator lost control of it and lost it. Never found it either!
I am thinking of getting one for myself though. Some of the HD ones you can get now at around the £1200 mark produce stunning imagery. Might come in handy at future 43tv Meets too!

I bought my nephew a little remote controlled helicopter a few years ago when drones were first starting to take off ( so to speak ), it's not that much different from a drone.
What disturbs me a little about drones is that they have such a wide application, from toys to spying & warfare, that we become desensitised to the great potential for harm that they have, more than any other gadget in history it seems.

I've heard that Drones are being used to deliver drugs and stuff to people in prison.
Apparently it can sometimes be easier to get the stuff on the inside than outside.

I saw a documentary about a UK prison recently & they mentioned that drones had been used to drop contraband within the prison walls. They showed someone who lived opposite the prison & they said they could hear the drones at night.

......someone who lived opposite the prison & they said they could hear the drones at night. Yeah... Bolly tends to drone a lot at night. Gene Genie.
