Amazon Planning To Use Drones For Same Day Deliverys
« on: November 15, 2014, 10:18:03 PM »
The Internet retail gaint Amazon are researching into the idea of using Drones for its same day delivery service and are now carrying out experiments at Cambridgeshire to see if its workable. I'm no expert on Drones but wouldn't Amazon need a Aviation license to fly Drones though British air space? What Iv seen of Drones they look quite flimsy and would only be able to carry light items also would they be able to cope with bad weather its fair to say no one wants Drones or there packages falling from the sky hurting people or even killing them? To be truthful I'm not convinced it's a great idea from a safety point of view.

TBH I'm not happy about one of those things flying anywhere near me.
I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

No, they use them to bomb people in Sand Land, the're as big as a plane, bigger than some planes.

Anyway...............................................

How would they deliver your parcel? Would you have to try and catch it as they flew past? What if you wer'nt in when it came? :)) :)) :)) :))

Orrr - they could open up all the closed railways and you could stop at each station and hand them out  ::)

You only say that because you don't want to have to stop at all the stations Thomas -  :P

Do we seriously think that Drones will be delivering goods though, it's not viable is it.
Plus I can't see me climbing a tree to get the parachute and goods out which I have ordered.

Just as a by the way E D  did I post a picture on here of the sorting carriage in a Royal Mail Train from years back.
I took it in York railway museum when we went a few weeks ago, and intended posting it ?
