Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I'm sure its just me getting older - but why does each new generation of "the latest thing" have to be uglier than the one before?

Matt Halton Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 That's amazing David, it's unbelievable how technology is progressing at these massive rates.How about a scale Hummingbird designed expressedly for covert surveillance? Check out this page: CLICK HERE Be sure to watch the video (non youtube) Just a fantastic achievement, you won't believe what you are seeing! Suffice to say, I'll be watching out for these birds outside my window..I guess they will have to be Sparrows for UK use! Really awe inspiring stuff.
