Depends where in the world you are sitting in Class B airspace. If you are, it won't be the UK plod that turns up

I actually think this whole debacle will benefit the drone cause in the UK. It shows how unreliable and incompetent the Police, Public, NATS ,Airport Management, the Army and the UK Government are when it comes to things like this. No-one will ever be prosecuted, simply because there was no...

FFS, get a life and Google Ally Laws

Why just go to such extremes? Just phone the nearest ATC centre and say you've seen a drone over Gatwick. The number is readily available on the 'net. You won't have to leave your name or number, they will just close the place down in a fit of hysteria. And you won't risk getting caught, putting...

In that case, as you're a drone enthusiast let me ask you what kind of drone was it? Like, make and model? Nobody else knows of this mythical drone with stealth capabilities and 4-hour battery duration

I have had six months of disconnects in flight with DJI GO. I mean every time I flew, I got a disconnect, tried everything, changed from a Nexus 9 to IPhone 6, still got disconnects, swapped leads, flew in different places to avoid EMR, it's a well documented problem that the d*ckheads at DJI...
