No, these are pro Drones.

But with some knowledge you just need the motors, lightweight tubing, decent RC batteries & electronics, you can buold your own one, no GPS fencing etc.

Dare I say a Raspberry Pi at the heart.

OK I've very simplified it but Google/Youtube is a powerfull tool.

Argos do sell pro drones, if the price is anything to go by, here is 1 costing £1589.

These two culprits should be severely punished for the trouble and heartache and money they have caused people. Hope there is no soft touch for them or there will be an outcry. As one we lady on the news said " Hang them "

LOL - we don't hang child killers, if they were to start hanging people pissing about at an airport with drones, I think that would be a bigger outcry.

By all means - the judicial system should throw the book at them, however, they have highlighted very weak defense systems at UK Airports.

I think Chris Grayling (Transport Secretary) said the maximum term is five years' imprisonment. I don't know if any other charges can be added to the charge sheet.

The Government was going to introduce some stronger legislation but hasn't got the capacity to do so.
