Rescue team find missing drone

A mountain rescue team’s lost drone has been found after five months under snow, repaired and returned to use in search operations.

Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team’s drone disappeared during a search on Ben Nevis last winter. The team said it had a “squadron” of the machines, which were used to aid with search and rescue work when weather conditions permitted. One was used this week in a search of 3,221ft An Gearanach. However, that search turned out to be a false alarm with good intent.
