leccyflyer Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Good point John, but they are still operating, apparently, with a wider portfolio in UAV usage for surveying etc, and still show Gnat Shooting as a corporate function on their website. IIRC the original flying wing style aircraft were armoured internally to protect the radio gear against damage and the target shooting was conducted under strictly controlled conditions.

John Privett Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Posted by Andy G. on 19/10/2014 15:46:47: Outrageous stupidity featured here! **LINK** Have a look at some of the comments on there... A lot taking the viewpoint I guess most on here would take, and a lot of the replies from the rednecks involved are the sort that give youtube comments a bad name. I did like this comment though; "Make it fair and arm the planes so they can shoot back. That would sort the men from the boys."
