In their own words, "
Drone Wars UK provides information and comment on the growing use of armed drones. As we are based in the UK we focus on the use of British drones but also include information about armed drones in general. " It is natural that they would want to highlight how frequently drones/UAVs fall out of the sky.
With regard to the Government reports, that's freedom of information for you, plus the desire to learn from incidents and accidents in an effort to prevent an identical reoccurence.
Safety is ALWAYS an issue whenever a manmade object takes to the air.
They've got it down from the tree now. Needless to say, it 'just missed' a school sports day.
