DJI Mavic Enterprise Advanced: Written off (damaged beyond repair) 2 April 2022 when crashed into Coppermines Valley Slate Quarry, Coniston, Cumbria
The UAV was operating in a quarry. The remote pilot lost contact with the UAV and it struck the wall of the quarry before falling into a lake.
Coniston is a village and civil parish in Westmorland and Furness, Cumbria, England. Two slate quarries still operate at Coniston, one in Coppermines Valley, the other at Brossen Stone on the east side of the Coniston Old Man. Both work Coniston's volcanic slates, being blue at Low-Brandy Crag in Coppermines Valley, and light green at Brossen Stone (bursting stone).
