The DJI Matrice M210 was being flown over the city of Poole when a combination of a technical fault and strong wind resulted in the Unmanned Aircraft (UA) being blown beyond visual line of sight before losing control link. The UA was found damaged on the balcony of a house.

The investigation has become protracted due to delays in obtaining information from the aircraft manufacturer.
