That is a drone designed specifically for use around airports. Like Gatwick.

You seem to have obtained a manually operated drone . . . it should have come with a keyboard and mouse . . . I'm not sure how you get it into the air but if you press ctrl alt delete it will come down with an almighty thump . . . .

Are those castors i see??? are you sure this is a drone? it looks suspiciously like an office chair pedestal bottom. When was it manufactured? 1st April?.

Have you tried turning it off, wait 10 seconds, and then back on again? It is usuallythe answer to everything.
If that fails you may have one of the manually operated “anti-drone drones”
Wait until another drone is in range. Take hold of one of the arms of your drone, pull you arm back and bring forward swiftly in a motion like a javelin. Hopefully you will hit the other drone and do everyone a favour.

Thanks starman. That worked a treat. Didn’t stay airborne long though. Perhaps it’s as suetag says and it needs new batteries. Thanks everyone for your advice, although I think Linda B needs to take more water with it. :D :text-lol: :text-lol: :text-lol:
Happy new year all. :text-thankyouyellow: :text-thankyouyellow:
