DJI Matrice 210 UAV: Written off (damaged beyond repair) 7 April 2022 when crashed into the River Orwell, Ipswich, Suffolk
The UAV became unresponsive to any of the remote pilot’s commands shortly after takeoff. It drifted towards the nearby river Orwell, descended into it and became partially submerged.
The River Orwell flows through the county of Suffolk in England from Ipswich to Felixstowe. Above Ipswich, the river is known as the River Gipping, but its name changes to the Orwell at Stoke Bridge, where the river becomes tidal. It broadens into an estuary at Ipswich, Suffolk
