Parrot Anafi UAV: Sustained minor damage 21 April 2022 when control lost and collided with a tree at East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire.
At the end of a flight the UAV displayed a FLIGHT CONDITIONS warning. As the remote pilot brought the UAV into land it flew erratically, not responding to the pilot commands, and became lodged in a tree. On recovery of the UAV one of the propellers was found to be missing.
East Kilbride is the largest town in South Lanarkshire in Scotland. The area lies on a raised plateau to the south of the Cathkin Braes, about eight miles (13 km) southeast of Glasgow and close to the boundary with East Renfrewshire.
