    Certainly needs defensive systems, someone landed a drone on it yesterday on its arrival in Pompey

    A drone landed on Britain's biggest warship and nobody cared

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Sadly the "public market" drones like DJI and their inherent capability in payload weights, are causing a massive problem and concern in the security industry. One landed on the Japaneseicon PM's home two years ago loaded with cesium from the village where the tsunami hit land first near their nuclear power plant. The Japanese Government promised the locals they would be able to move back to their village once it was cleaned up.............still not back in 2017.

    Sad story, but shows the capabilities of something so small and undetectable:
