Warships on the Thames,Typhoons above, ten thousand troops, guided missiles etc.
Surely the `Powers that Be` have made some provision against attack by pilotless aircraft?
I wonder what that might be?
Might it be foolhardy to assume that our frequencies are `safe` during this period?  (South of the Humber!)

PDR could tell you; but then he'd have to shoot you.

What aspect of "pilotless aircraft" is it that you think cannot be handled by conventional defences?

PDR

Sorry, not allowed to tell you as this could encourage terrorism.

you'll find they've all been "electronically hijacked" by the Iranians lol gezz that thing makes me laugh, i could make a better model!
don't worry about battleships on the Thames either, they'll all get Photoshopped out

Are models even allowed in the "Prohibited Zone" during the olympics airspace restrictions?  http://olympics.airspacesafety.com/airspace-restrictions/restrictions-14-july-2012-to-15-august-2012
The site doesn't really say (whereas it does specifically state that the Restricted Zone doesn't affect models)

I were more interested in who our team were as this is supposedly a sport ?
