On the 5th of January 1935, the RAF flew for the first time a radio-controlled Tiger Moth. Named a 'Queen Bee'. Over 300 of them were used as targets.
So, as some have mentioned, nothing new, this drone business. A very common film clip, used to a nauseating degree, by every aviation documentary on the Second World War, shows the destruction of a B17. It is in fact, a drone being wacked by a missile in the fifties.
I see the Japanese now have a 'Drone Maid' complete in French Skirt. Now that is interesting. Might have to get one of those.
