jamesogt Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 So to clarify you meant drone, singular? As anyone can buy them and fly them for fun, I would assume that is what somebody was doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I see drone footage on the TV (nearly every documentary now) I want a go. You can even get drone footage of the football now, how long till whole matches are streamed live?

woodmally Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Can anyone tell me what a drone is please? An expensive remote controlled aircraft. They use bigger ones in Iraq and Afghanistan to fight the Taliban remotely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milquetoast1 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Equally, why shouldn't a drone would be flying around Nether Edge? Because it's probably illegal? http://shop.droneflight.co.uk/pages/summary-of-uk-legal-requirements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcoblog Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Can anyone tell me what a drone is please? A drone is a male honey bee. Because of the fact that they contain no stinger, enterprising people catch them and tie small television cameras to their hind legs, thus enabling spectacular aerial photography, otherwise only possible using hot air balloons or stunt helicopters like mine. Drones were first used by film director James Cameron for most of the aerial photography in the film 'Avatar', the same bees then going on to other work, such as 'Top Gear' and (rather dangerously) 'Spiderman'. Unfortunately (and contradictive to the above), there is, so to speak, a sting in the tale … due to the large amount of drones now employed in the film industry, production of honey is now at an all time low. This is why many people now want drones to be banned from filming and back to flower dusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
