Still Waters Posted October 11, 2020 #1 Share Posted October 11, 2020 A black-headed gull brought down a drone over a school in south west Scotland. A roof survey was being carried out at Stranraer Academy in July when the attack occurred. An Air Accidents Investigation Branch report said the pilot had never experienced the "level of aggression" shown by the bird. It attacked the 6kg (13lb) drone, causing it to crash on the school roof and suffer substantial damage. The AAIB report said all "normal pre-flight checks" had been carried out, including an assessment of potential bird interference. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-south-scotland-54476734 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wistman Posted October 11, 2020 #2 Share Posted October 11, 2020 We may see more of this I suspect. The birds are not amused. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
