🔮 The pilot - who later reported the sighting to military controllers - ducked the aircraft after the object passed close by, remarking to the RAF radar controller overseeing the refuelling exercise it could be a 'potential drone'. He said: 'Uh yeah, just had something go overhead of us – potential drone at one seven zero – have you got anything on your screen?' 'One seven zero' is code for an altitude of 17,000ft - the height the object was flying and more than 40 times the legal height limit for drones.

🔮 Dr Michael Young became embroiled in a row with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Council (RBKC) after building a screen on his roof which they ordered he remove in 2024. Dr Young, who works in financial services, maintained the screen was approved by the council in 2019, 2022 and 2023 – resulting in a two-and-a-half-year-long dispute involving the Planning Inspectorate and costing him almost £10,000 in planning consultants', legal and architects' fees. Yet despite the inspectorate ultimately ruling in his favour in May, Dr Young sought permission earlier this year to voluntarily tear down the screen he spent more than five years fighting to keep – and replace it with a three-storey extension costing £500,000.
