Ok, bought the new drone, Coverdrone having agreed to pay (well done CD, to be reccommended, delays my fault, otherwise would have taken about a week which seems reasonable), £189 2nd hand from MPB (tx, mynameisjoe). Mavic Mini, same spec as Mr Drone but Fly More Combo. Due for delivery Friday 30th. Friday looks like a good flying day according to Ventusky and AirUAV, bit overcast for good photos but fine for test flight over the rec again. Next week has some sunshine forecast but it is accompanies by winds too strong for a Mini.
The surplus £10 will go towards replacing the Skytron Strobon.
