Drone Hazard - 25/11/2016
« on: November 25, 2016, 04:18:53 PM »
I've been hearing a lot of chat this afternoon in relation to a drone in use along the high ground north of City airport.  All aircraft are being warned of it.  One of the police aircraft went over to have a look but didn't hear the result.

First reported by a RYR pilot who said it was black and silver in colour and travelling quite fast for a drone.
