DJI Mavic 2 UAV: Written off (damaged beyond repair) 29 April 2022 when control lost and crashed at night at Doncaster, South Yorkshire
A night survey using torches detected telephone cables prior to deploying the UA. However, the UA subsequently collided with a telephone cable and fell out of control to the ground. The remote pilot considered that he may have missed the cable during the survey,as a result of the light conditions in the area of operation.
