Sensus M8-XP UAV: Substantially damaged 16 May 2023 when struck a tree at Lode, 8 miles NE of Cambridge, Cambridgeshire. The incident was the subject of an AAIB correspondence-only report, published 14 September 2023, and the following is the summary from that report:
"The remote pilot misjudged the aircraft’s flight path, and the UAV flew into a tree and dropped to the ground. There was damage to eight propellers, all four legs and the camera".
Lode is a small village in East Cambridgeshire on the southern edge of The Fens. It lies just north of the B1102 between Quy and Swaffham Bulbeck, 8 miles to the north east of Cambridge. The village's name is derived from its location at the southern end of Bottisham Lode that links it to the River Cam.
