Reports of illegal drone flights caused travel mayhem at Gatwick airport days before Christmas 2018 - sparking a clampdown against unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

This episode of Inside Farming examines how new restrictions will affect farmers, agronomists and the UK agri-tech sector – who all use drones legitimately.

Includes a visit to a farm next door to Heathrow airport and interview with a former military pilot who was praised for avoiding a collision between a drone and RAF fighter jet.

Featuring: Berkshire farmer Colin Rayner, Jeff Goulding of Hummingbird Technologies, independent consultant Keith Norman, agronomist Martyn Cox of Blackthorn Arable and Russ Delaney of uVue Drones.
