'Sion Roberts, the head of drone training academy RUSTA, said the operator would have been flying "BVLOS (Beyond visual line of sight)" which was against regulations.
"These vehicles are easily bought from shops or online and often the people buying them don't know the rules and regulation or indeed the dangers involved", he said.
He added it was "vital distributors and sellers make their customers aware of the rules" or "one incident could put this growing industry back years.'




Yet another media report at a near miss with a drone at a ridicilious height.

Are the aircrews making these stories up? Presumably not, because the Police are involved abd there will be a mountain of paperwork to go through following a near miss

Last near miss in the Uk, following an investigation, turned out to be a Pizza box floating around at 4000ft

All a bit weard
