Hi Cheddarman, Yes, I watched the opening ceremony on live TV. The formation of drones was an amazing spectacle. I did just keep wondering about what could go wrong - say a small computer glitch that sent one drone out of position where it hits several other drones sending them out of control etc... Anyway it was quite a sight and hats off to the Japanese for having the skills and technology to pull it off.

All the best, Martin
