By |December 24th, 2018|Categories: CAA |Tags: |Comments Off on The CAA Drone Awareness Study 2018

So they interviewed a large number of people from members of the public through to commercial pilots to try to find out where opinion really lies and to be able to build a picture to help them shape the future of the UK Drone Industry.
