BZ to all involved.

Fed up of the "why waste all that money on destroying a toy drone" messages all across facebook so thought I'd pop on here for some sense.

Sadly seems there are muppets on here too. Surprised no one suggested flying alongside and tipping the wing like the Spitfires did to Doodlebugs.

To put it into perspective, i reckon the cost was around 2 minutes worth of the UK annual defence budget. Excellent value if it saved one injury on the ground, let alone someones life out there. If you think otherwise then you need to give your head a wobble.

As I say well done to all involved. You did your job, and you did it well.
