DJI Matrice 300 RTK UAV: Substantially damaged 14 September 2022 when crashed shortly after take off from Biggleswade, Bedfordshire
Just after a manually controlled takeoff, and without prior warning, the remote pilot heard a ‘branch snap’ sound and control of the UA was lost. It fell to the ground from a height of about 4 metres and suffered significant damage. The pilot was unsure of the cause and had completed four uneventful flights earlier that day.
Biggleswade is a market town and civil parish in Central Bedfordshire in Bedfordshire, England. It lies on the River Ivel, 11 miles (18 km) south-east of Bedford
