Why pick on the poor Isle of Wight? :)

He doesn't have to be the pilot! :)

They don't even give a hint as to what advantage they are trying to gain by using drones. I struggle to understand the drone obsession. (My view is that if we had to invent a distribution system, it would use some sort of pipe with individual semi-autonomous sleds. Depending on size of pipe...
