So, as the BBC ask, are drones dangerous or harmless fun?

You can buy them for under £50 anywhere with no checks at all. Any one can fly one and though there are existing regulations about how and where you can use them, there is no way to check who owns one or who is flying it. The smaller ones are invisible to radar and invisible to sight at night if you turn the lights off.
Banning them will just make them more desirable and you could import one from outside the UK if we banned them here.

Rumours abound, jno.

Turns out that it was probably a plastic bag not a drone.
