>>The agency hired custom drone makers in the U.K. and tested a few prototypes until they found the best.

My dad sent me this and thought I'd find it funny. I was disappointed by the amount of Bill Cosby in the video.

If we combine this with Hobby King’s beer lift contest maybe we would have a hit on our hands. Imagine pizza and beer delivered by drone. It just might catch on.
It wasn`t Guildford but close... :)
I love the reactions to videos like this.
Imagine telling the people watching the first Wright Brothers flight that in 20 years there would be commercial airlines with indoor seating with safety belts.
