Laser yob caught & pleaded guilty
A day or two ago, BBC reported that a police helicopter flying over Donnington Bridge, Oxford, some time ago,was blinded by a laser pen wielded by a 20 year old male. The crew managed to pinpoint the source, and nab the youth, who appeared in court a few days ago, and said he hadn't intended any harm.
The broadcast of the incident was quite frightening, so intense was the beam. Amazing they were able to find the culprit. It is probably impossible to regulate the sale of such items.....
I havn't been able to discover whether or not this news has been reported on pprune, so pass it on herewith.
