On a more serious note than my previous post.....

A news item on the radio this morning reminded me that the extent of cannabis growing in domestic premises has been increasing hugely. Some of these operations involve the conversion of large areas within ordinary houses for cultivation, and require a major electricity supply for continuous light and heat. Growers have usually bypassed the electricity meter, so the only way to detect these properties is through remote sensing of their very high heat signature. This can be carried out through aircraft-borne infra-red technologies, so maybe the MAF/DEFRA Dornier was trying to locate the Slough Pot factory?
