...analysis of the recovered UAVs showed that they were guided by GPS and altimeters and could have been launched from up to 100 km away.

Two recovered UAVs were displayed during the briefing showing the aircraft were homemade, rather than commercial off-the-shelf or hobby types. They were powered by small combustion engines and their wings were made from polystyrene reinforced with wooden slats.

Definite shades of Duraplane in the design and Peter Russell in the tailplane styling, and more duct tape than some RAF aircraft.

Have MI6 asked for RCM&Es Middle Eastern mailing list yet? laugh
