Into the New Year

Hello everyone hope you are all well. I’ve been busy with bits and bobs since my last post. We have had several severe storms in the UK so it has not been suitable conditions to fly a drone. Lot's of flooding and fallen trees in the area.

I bought another drone, it is a DJI Air 3 and I am very impressed with it. My initial reaction to this model when it was released last year was a bit negative. Since then I have warmed to the idea of a drone with two cameras, with similar features to the Mavic 3 series. But for less money. The official ND filters I bought are way over priced though. But on the whole I enjoy its bigger size. Especially in the wind as it is more comfortable in those conditions. I have a feeling this model will be updated again soon enough with something better from DJI.

There is a lot of tension in the world, in Europe and the Middle East. The army is too small to cope with the growing threats we see coming. Some have suggested that we initiate conscription to build up our forces… Its been interesting seeing all the negative responses to this. It is all well deserved of course. HM Forces have been diluted way too much over the years, so this is what we end up with, at a time we need to show our strengths as a country.

A curious thing happened just yesterday. I believe an Amazon delivery driver jammed my WiFi so my door camera would not work. Was this to hide his identity? Why would he do it? I’ve read other people have similar experiences. You can purchase WiFi jammers on the web and they are effective. I’ve mentioned this to Amazon and they are looking into it.

That’s all I have at the moment. Thanks for reading!
