I seen the program, it was a very badly researched documentary/current affairs program , and for me certainly shows how low an agency body like BBC have stooped for ratings.
The program was always focused on showing the possible bad side to drone, nothing about the incredible safe tech in all dji drones.
It’s still popular to hate drones and haters gonna hate.
I’m pleased dji have been strong putting their side publicly, but maybe not enough to help stem the tide, certainly in UK .

Nicely done - thanks again for sharing!

And the reply from DJI

The BBC is no better than a tabloid 'newspaper' with these commissioned programmes. Even the production company Windfall Films should be challenged on this programme. The irony being that they themsleves have produced a programme called Egypt From Above - using drones to film the ancent sites of Egypt.

Overall they cover many aspects, perhaps that one could have been delivered better.

There are many positive 'drone' stories as well:- https://www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=drones#page=6

For someone who also posts many, I'd wonder to know your system for staying active on account of all the posts you post?...

Very annoying, bias and one-sided presentation and I'm pleased DJI are fighting this one!

I just open all the posts I think I have not seen yet in different tabs (middle mouse button click) and use CTRL + F to search on the page for 'mont' (david in your case) when I'm not sure if I already replied.
If I'm not there, I reply.
CTRL + W to close the current tab and move on to the next.

I know it's been a while now since this tosh was on the telly

I've got an old phantom 3. I'm going to smash it up, put it in a bazooka and fire it at a plane in a no fly zone - just like we all apparently do

When I see a picture of a drone taken by aircrew travelling at 150mph or security forces on the edge of a no fly zone I will believe it

Show me the evidence - please

There really is none. The only verified drone strike was when a US military helicopter hit a Phantom 3 in New York - and this was because the helicopter was flying under 400 feet altitude. The whole Gatwick 'drone attack' was more about finding an external excuse when the NATS ATC system went down after a bug in an overnight software upgrade crashed the system. But behind all the anti drone chatter are those with vested interests wanting  to either have complete domain over airspace (BALPA), or who are after social control -  against self expression and the freedom to pursue an interest that seems (in their fear dominated minds), to be subversive.
