Has any member here lost a Mini / Mini2 in the Otley / Askwith area? A local has found one in one of his fields. It has the Flyer ID on it so you would need to be able to recite this to prove it’s yours.

Hope the owner is found - isn’t there a way to contact them with the Flyer ID via the CAA ?
( Mine have FlyerID on one side, mobile number on the other )

Doesn’t look badly enough damaged to have crashed at 102.8mph though!!!

It’s very boggy up that way, tho?

Is there an identification file on the memory card? Some people save a text file with their contact details.

That’s a good shout Paul!!! I never thought of doing that before, dead simple and easy. Think I might ask for that to be included in the newcomers section @clinkadink

We think we have found the owner. The person who found the drone has confirmed that the place where it was found correlates with the video showing its last known location. There’s a lesson for everyone, don’t fly a Mini2 from the top of the Cow and Calf on Ilkley Moor (Ba Tat)

That’s great news if it is him.
He seems to be a conscientious pilot, that probably isn’t a member here, so doesn’t know what to do if your drone is being blown away!
Is someone reaching out to him? I cant see any messages in the comments that the drone has been found?

Update
The Drone and the owner are now beating a path to each other as I type this. So for once we have a happy drone story.

Hi all, I was the unfortunate owner of the lost drone and would like to thank everyone for their help in tracking me down. I live in the East Midlands and whilst visiting my friend in Yorkshire, went to Ilkley Moor to get some aerial footage for my You Tube channel. One minute all was well and then suddenly, the drone was gone and out of control. Nothing like this has happened before. I have just joined the club and wish you all well. Many thanks Alan

Welcome to the Group, 2 mile away 
Glad your getting reunited with the drone
It was a pleasure to be one of the small cogs in the machine that has reunited you with your drone, Alan.
