Guernsey air display held up by drone.

Not much of a display to be honest, untill the Red Arrows turned up. They suddenly appeared low and fast right over the town with smoke on. Very unexpected, quite a thrill.

But some genius held up the display for 8 minutes with a drone. I've no idea what possesses some people. 

"The Guernsey Battle of Britain Air Display was disrupted by a drone.

A Spitfire and a Hurricane began the show at 11:00 BST and the Red Arrows were able to finish the display.

The Seafire display, which had been due to start at 12:31, was delayed by eight minutes due to a drone flying in the area.

The Red Arrows closed the air display."

I was wondering after reading the "Subject" how big a drone would have to be to actually hold an entire display airborne! 😉

Hearing a lot, lately, about idiots flying their drones into big fire areas causing the air tankers to be grounded until they clear the area.

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!
