Robert Knowles first to be prosecuted over drone
Robert Knowles, from Cumbria, was the first person in the UK to be prosecuted for illegally flying a drone.
His drone was recovered from water near a nuclear submarine facility in Barrow-in-Furness operated by the defence company BAE Systems.
The video footage revealed that during its flight it had skimmed over the busy Jubilee Bridge, well within the legally permitted 50 metres separation distance required.
He was prosecuted by the Civil Aviation Authority, external and found guilty in April 2014.
