There are I am informed already some crewless aircraft similar to drones.
So the concept is not beyond possibilities.

A few weeks ago a large drone was deployed from the mainland to the Isle of Wight and delivered medical supplies, i,m not sure if it is a regular thing, kt

I kid you not.
Couple of years ago one bright spark sent one dollar in a note with a Drone to the Bunnings store Saturday morning for a snag in a slice.
He got it on the return run.
Quite amazing what can be done with a Drone.

Keith, I wish the G.P.O. Would employ a few of them i received a letter from the Tax last week dated 24/03/20. Apparently this is the same all over the country. Terry

Well, apparently its very successful so far, and used regularly , so maybe the mail could be delivered in a similar way. Quite often in the winter with thick fog our mail is delayed. Short clip on youtube, its quite a big drone with a range of 600+ miles, kt

So we have an aircraft carrier in, say, the sea of Japan, a drone on it's deck and it's pilot in some Scottish RAF base twiddling a joystick, what could go wrong???

" Drone" several meanings quite amusing.
Male bee has no stung gathers no honey.
A sustained deep murmuring or buzzing sound.
Talk in a persistently monotonous sound.
Any of the usu 3 pipes on a bagpipe that sound fixed continuous notes.
An unvarying sustained bass note.
I like the one just under these meanings......Drongo a worthless fool. LOL

Victoria, you were doing so well until the last line. Why did you have to bring politicians into it??
