With all of the excitement and panic about "drones" one would expect the authorities (e.g., AAIB) to be jumping right into an investigation of this accident; however, in looking around the internet, I've been unable to discover any details on the accident. While there is a lot of promotional material on the Airspeeder available, I haven't encountered any real information on the accident. In the U.S., the NTSB would issue an initial statement of the currently known facts of the accident within hours of the arrival of their investigation team. Does the UK AAIB do the same? Anyway, the most information I've been able to find out about the accident is a vague description that it went out of control, climbed out of sight, returned and " ... dropped at some speed to the ground in a field nearby." I would think that there would be more information available at this point in time.
