All of this! ^^^^
Every time we see someone trying to get around the rules or just flat out flout them we need to call it out and police ourselves.

Article is behind a paywall but I canāt imagine anyone who is slightly clued up would be dumb enough to fly a drone around the COP26 summit, so if anyone gets their drone blown out the sky during that, they probably deserve it.
Thereās tons of posts on here where the drone code was probably broken or pushed to itās very limits, especially regarding VLOS & TOAL land owner permissions.
Itās very reasonable the people we donāt know could very well be aware of the rules, but have took a reasonable decision itās safe to push the limit. How many of us brake the speed limit in our cars every day and go unpunished.
If itās clearly obvious they are an idiot because they have form for it from lots of posts (whether thatās here,farcebook,youtube,insta) then go for it. I couldnāt help but comment to one guy on youtube that he might want to read up on the drone code after taking off and landing on a theme park car park and then flying it well out of VLOS all over the park over queues of people!!! Complete nutter.
Probably the same bunch that have been glueing themselves to various parts of the M25.

Underground drones.

Just read this on the BBC.
I assume not tethered so how do they keep signal strength meters underground?
Genuinely interested
Perhaps theyāre completely autonomous?
Either autonomous, or just dangle a repeater down the manhole would work I guess? Not anywhere much for radio waves to go once theyāre in a pipe

Hereās a new branch of the hobby: Underground Tunnel Droning !
We (and the rest of the world) eagerly await your latest underground quadcopter videos.
PS
If you want to get your drone out again, please notice the protective cage.
Moved to this thread where it has already been posted/discussed.
