Just had an email about this with a link to the following page. Closing the Chapter: A Farewell from Drone Authority
Really sad to see for the fpv community and hobby.
Always had great service and never had a problem when buying here.

This sucks massive balls man! UK FPV stockiests are forever shrinking man… I’ve always supported Drone Authority, HobbyRC, FlyingTech even when I can get things cheaper from bangood, amazon, or aliexpress…
Absolutely gutted about this.

Sad isn’t it.
That’s exactly what it says on the website.
Cost increases, shrinking profit margin and less market interest
Well let’s buy more from.HRC, FT and UMT! Get more into the hobby. I’m doing my best lol

I’m the same. Happy to support uk business and can get my goods quicker.
Just hope the remaining businesses can get decent stock levels

Sad news indeed.
Also, a sly plug (I am not affiliated) for Your FPV - prices can be variable, but always had good service from them.

I think the owner is a member here @yourfpv 
Yes, had a couple of orders from them. I think they are Sheffield based if I’m correct
Yes use yourfpv too. I do try to mix it up between then (and obviously who has blinking stock haha)
Thats really sad news 
Ive used Drone Authority quite a bit and always had great service from them.

Same. They seemed to be a pretty cool brand too.
Good service and prices. Stock issues occasionally but that’s the “norm” in fpv in the uk anyway.
Sad to hear that the hobby is in decline in their opinion

Did anybody pick up anything from the closing down sale?
Nah it was all pretty much sold out when I took a look Deano. I guess people jumped on the opportunity to stock up on cheap vistas, fc etc
I checked the day I received the email from drone authority and there wasn’t I fancied then.
Definitely no cheap vistas or similar
Heh similar had a look. Minor accessories left. Was one decent drone backpack.
Fortunately I find vistas in My spares bin lol (my guess is that’ll only happen once)

I would assume that they give people close to them the heads up first before officially going on sale. One of my old work colleagues Mrs used to work in Next. When ever they had a sale they would let the staff and the staffs friends get early access to get all the best bargains so by the time everything was on general sale it was only the shite that was left
