Taken from a radio-controlled helicopter (or drone?)

Note the passengers sitting on the window-sills with their legs outside the carriages. What would Elf 'n' Safe Tea have to say about that?

Its taken using a "Quad Coptor" - a frame with an engine at each corner.

They come with the camera etc and they are very easy indeed to fly,unlike all the other model helicopters!

Quite expensive though.

They are freely available - in the UK around 120 quid with the camera.

Something for you to buy John!

I suspect that if I tried to fly one of those in Kenya or South Sudan I would be arrested - that's if someone didn't shoot it down first!
