When I was at High School (many decades ago!!) I had an anthology of Australian Short stories.

One I have always remembered concerned the shooting and killing of an airborne WTE by a yobbo in a light aircraft. The eagle’s mate witnessed this murder and never forgot. The next time he spotted the aircraft aloft he stooped up-on it from a great height and ripped one of the wings off thus gaining what I thought was an honourable revenge!

something for drone operators to consider!!

I don’t know whether people will be able to open this because it seems to be locked through my subscription. But it is worth trying. It is a great story in the Wall St Journal about WTEs attacking drones used for mapping.
