Whatr an incredible story! Thanks for sharing it.

Just out of interest, this is a picture I took as the drone was decending on auto landing. ..to help me find it more than anything. Miraculously, it landed itself on the small square piece of grass between the red car and the garage. It was on an open driveway that I could walk to without...
