DJI Matrice 300 RTK UAV: Written off (damaged beyond repair) 9 October 2022 when control lost and UAV crashed at Hastings, East Sussex
Whilst operating the 6.3 kg UA in a built-up area at night, a loud crack was heard, and the UA began to spin to the ground from a height of 9 metres. The operator examined the wreckage after the event and suspected that a rotor blade had failed in flight.
Hastings is a large seaside town and borough in East Sussex on the south coast of England, 24 miles (39 km) east to the county town of Lewes and 53 miles (85 km) south east of London.
