Thats interesting.. Its the Nato summit in Newport at the end of the month.. And my office is inside the security cordon, and we met with CTU (Not Jack Bower) last month.. I raised the topic of "drones" and they went away to look into it.. And then they came back a few days later to say that it had been "mitigated".

Now we are in August, everything is starting to kick off. Over the weekend the fences started to get erected around the venue (there are going to be 14km worth), and there are Police all over the place...

I just wonder whether is has anything to do with it??

Considering Obama will be here.. As well as 5000 support staff, 1500 press and upto 20,000 protestors.. They are going to great lengths to protect the venue!

Edit.. Looking at the notes, it appear that the centre of this is Sennybridge training centre.. So its probably not related.. But who knows? I wonder if today is a bad day to take my new WOT4 FPV out for a test flight?

Aw that would explain the testing then as it's quite common for American Airlines to have GPS jammers. Especially if Airforce one is landing!
