I wonder what the knock on effect will be of this issue, I believe DJI might have aleady issued a fix ( https://forum.dji.com/forum.php? ... D427%26typeid%3D427 )

It's not looking good mate! There was also speculation that a drone being piloted by the police was the cause of the helicopter crash that killed the billionaire chairman of Leicester city football club earlier this week - but that at least has now been ruled out and a drone was not to blame... BTW - is the CAA temporary exclusion of the 50m rule just applicable to the Matice 200 series or all drones in the UK?

I've no idea regarding CAA restriction mentioned in the news story, but their news site makes for some interesting reading regarding using commercial operators.
