A good news story, don't get many so worth a read. Pilot in North Wales, UK avoided potential crash with RAF Apache Helicopter.

"the drone pilot saw the Apache come into view. He sent the craft into a rapid ascent, taking it up to 375 feet to avoid crashing into the helicopter"

I guess it lost something in translation.
It is a sad sack tale of imaginary imminent danger, should go National with more embellishment.

Gotta love these 'drone does not crash into aircraft' news articles ;-)
