Border Force Drone

Fixed wing twin engined drone up from Lympne airfield this morning at 05.45 on illegals hunt…and still airborne (0900) over 40km up the channel from take off point - at 800ft. Fair old distance for RC ! :grinning:

SEEMS to be a very good drone can certainly stay up but still don’t be seem to be stoping people

surely we should charge France now out of eu.

but a great bit of kit must cost a lot

Apart from a decent radio its basically a Large model with a couple of petrol engines…actually the LMA people have similar in size (well…not quite"!)…see if I can find a piccy

It’s so they know where to intercept them and give them money and a house and most probably a Covid jab.

WHAT LICENCE do you need to fly that open A2 would not be good enough.

or am I wrong, A plane license

I see the mtow is a unbelievable 180 kg

With its endurance most of that weight will be fuel…Not sure what engines it has tho…they certainly aint chainsaw jobs! :rofl:
