jacklev1 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) Did anyone else see the drone flying over neepsend yesterday dinner time? Near to the river don then up towards the ski village where the new age travellers live I assume it was the police brill idea for surveillance Edited March 6, 2014 by esme neep not beep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Clowning Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 The police have had stuff like this, but its the first time I have heard of one used in Sheffield. Sounds like a good idea but Its all to Orwellian for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldo Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 This is supposedly over Sheffield, anyone know where? Could be wrong, but looks like Woodseats? You can see the bottom of Graves park in the distance. ---------- Post added 06-03-2014 at 18:21 ---------- 25 tips and mods for your DJI Phantom: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiteowl Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Yeah, it took off on Woodseats House Road - you can see the Big Tree almost immediately. Second clip based more on Wellcarr Road though. Edited March 6, 2014 by whiteowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
