valeenitt Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Hi all,If you live in the Lordship Lane end of Melford Road or on lordship Lane backing on to Melford Court, could you please check for a mini drone (red in color) landed on your back garden. My son was flying it last night when it hit a wall and lost control. Many thanksValentina Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/277470-for-those-living-on-the-corner-melford-roadlordship-lane/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipsyleprachauns Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 So he was flying it out of Visual Line Of Sight ( VLOS ) which is both illegal and incredibly dangerous?

Tipsyleprachauns Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Why? It?s sad that a kid has lost their toy, but it was clearly being used illegally.

pablogrande Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Mainly because you originally posted and then edited out that you hoped her son wouldn?t get it back, pretty spiteful talk. His mum already said it hit a wall and went out of control, nothing about flying without line of site. Kids stuck indoors, missing their mates, trying to have a bit of fun, could do without your mean spiritedness.

Tipsyleprachauns Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 If it was being flown line of sight then they?d know exactly which wall it hit and where it is. The airspace in question is part of London City CTR and demands additional caution. Not to mention flying a drone next to a major road (presumably at a height of less than 50 metres as it was low enough to hit a wall - also illegal) and you?ve got an extremely reckless bit of flying. You?re right - a bit spiteful saying I hope the toy isn?t retrieved. But nonetheless - illegal and dangerous flying. If it?s retrieved I hope it?s a lesson learned.
