Taken on Tues 26th Feb, where santa comes on holiday to really “warm up” and “reactivate” himself. That’s him there, on the 16th gondola anti-upside-gregorian-backward-clockwise!

Bravo @andy_bee_1! Unless basic maths has deserted me, you’ve come charging past into a comfortable 3rd place.
Unfortunately, due to a complete f**k up of a flight on a disused bridge in Kyiv, my drone is now out of action (all 4 blades broken).
It is a little windy but nothing bad, maybe 20mph. It took off ok, hovered about 5m up, then shot off to the left, told me it was at max altitude, (at about 25m above the water), then came back right coming downwards, ignoring all inputs on the controller. The cane signal lost, it went past my head, hit the railings, went through and came to rest with almost half of it hanging over the edge! here: 
I was just about to get the reflection of the sun
And the rest of the afternoon was planned for a few more on the list
Bummer
I’m trying to work out if the word “lucky” is appropriate - I think it is!
Argh! I’m gutted for you mate 
If it’s any consolation, at least you could rescue it, sounds like it was about to become a compete flyaway
Were you near those railings when you took off? I get random mag interference warnings when I take off from a similar local location too.
I am not sure, compass said it was fine when I started it up.
Lucky escape indeed! I honestly thought it was going to go plop!
But would you believe it, at the end of the bridge there was this little place:
They only had one set of blades (I needed all four!), so they gave me some off a display model and I got a free cap too
But, no cracks in the clouds to refly the bridge (or maybe dry land the other side!) and light going (Ukraine is +2hrs) so, think I’ll have to settle for the current entries

THAT is totally amazing!! 
And up and running again! But no light for the sun on the water. So we went up a hill and found snow. I finally got to use the carrot I bought 3 days ago from the market near Chernobyl!
- Snowman
– Must have a carrot for a nose, or a scarf for a scarf
– Bonus point if the snowman has: Carrot for a nose, coal for eyes and coat buttons, sticks for arms (must have all three)
Just realised I left my scarf on it!

Just re-read the item and I didn’t need to run to the car and get the scarf cos I forgot it, or leave it behind when I forgot it again.
I already had the carrot!!!
Oh well, it’s been fun, and I hope a local will make use of it 
I’ve been going through what I’ve got off my drone, and it’s nowhere near everything but I bet I have icicles on there! Not going to turn it on inside the airport to find out though, so I’ll take the draw with Brian, and honoured to join him as he worked hard for his too. (unless he has an ace up his sleeve? 
)
