It should also be lawful for occupiers to destroy drones on sight.
Sunfish; I never did find out exactly what happened afterwards, but on my second last working holiday in Hokkaido Japan where I was flying a Glider towplane for a full time Gliding Club there, on one occasion as I was passing through about 800' with a Glider on tow I saw a fairly large drone at my 2 o'clock position, slightly above me but only about 200 metres away!

Gave me somewhat of a fright and I promptly radioed the sighting to the Club's Flight Service/Controller.

Never saw it again, nor was it ever officially mentioned, but from what filtered back, someones arse was severely booted and the drone confiscated!
