Thanks for spotting my error. Yes, my mistake. One Matrice v2 and three Mavic 2 on our visit to Kiev and we sent Two Mavic 3 via our courier for the second shipment to our contact Zaporizhzhia which arrived today. If anyone has any doubts they can always see our photographic records of the handover of the drones to the Ukraine Military Representatives in Kiev. Obviosly their faces would be disguised but you will be able to see myself and the CEO of our organisation.
Well done!

Thanks.
Hi! Iām following closely the use of drones in the Ukraine war. Is anyone interested in donating a secondhand DJI Mavic Air 2 More Combo to help them? Or making a contribution? Thatās what the guys in the front line want. By all reports they are losing plenty. Hoping youāll help!
I have now sent out 16 drones to two marine units Iām working with in Ukraine since last September. The models l have been asked for are Mavic 2 Pro and Zoom and Mavic 3 along with a Matrice Iām surprised they have asked for the air version but if thatās what they have asked for then it must be needed. I set up a fund raiser on Just Giving. The response was poor. So far l have spent around Ā£15k on drones and other aid. Good luck in your quest to get one to send out. If you need any advice, just ask.
Hi Smart!
Thanks for your response. You are the only one to respond - so far. Iām new to Grey Arrows and am not sure how to get this response through to you.
Some very interesting points you make; their specific model request; setting up on Just Giving (donāt they take a % cut?) and the poor response youāve had. What marketing have you tried?
Iāll look in Grey Arrows website and see if there is a forum we can chat on.

Just Giving do take a cut. There are very few alternative options to raise money online.
I have posted on Facebook. Whatās app and Instagram. I did manage to raise close to Ā£3k at the start of the war through Just Giving to buy a 4x4 and drive it to Ukraine for the military to use for evacuating injured soldiers.
I think people in general are getting numb to the war so donations are not so frequent.
If there is a forum on the Grey Arrows it would be useful especially if there are pilots wanting to sell reasonable priced used drones for the cause.
Not sure where you two think you are chatting right now but you are both posting on the Grey Arrows Drone Club forum 
Good luck to both of you acquiring drones for a good and worthy cause
