All they gotta do is stretch a fine mesh net over any open spaces - like they do for the seagulls down here ..

Lets the light in - rain In - sun In ... But anything bigger than a 50P - OUT

That way they couldn';t even hover and drop a payload as the net would catch it ....

My main flying field is right next to a prison. I have often thought - if i crashed the thing inside the prison grounds - that could look VERY bad. Getting my aircraft back would be the least of my worries!

@xh558 - That is far too practical and pragmatic of an idea. It just simply would not do.   Ideas like that do people out of work.  There';d be no need for a steering committee, a project, teams of managers, legislature, insurance, health and safety, on and not forgetting the bloke to actually hang it up in the first place.

Drones, more usually associated with the military, are increasingly being used in civilian life to make small deliveries, from pizzas to vital medicines.

This is the last line in the report! I had to laugh at the idea that pizza delivery spoof by Dominos appears to have been taken seriously!

Oh yeah - all that - and paying me my consultancy fee for having the totally simple and brilliant idea in the first place
