Drones have a great future......
......in all sorts of sectors.
Just like the chopper - they are a tool and not the only solution.
I was surprised and secretly delighted to discover that the aerials over the beach in the recent 'Dunkirk' movie with the Spitfire executing the longest dead-stick landing in aviation history (akin to the slowest countdown device in every James Bond movie) were done by chopper - (GB Helicopters- no relationship)
But like every tool - if handled by a 'tool'
the outcome can be unpredictable and dangerous.
I'm a chopper puke to the core but can see the advantages of Drones/UAVs/UASs - especially within a regulatory environment which understands them.
