'Baby shark' drones used in Gwynedd to help search and rescue teams

Remotely controlled drones will start helping search and rescue flights for the first time in the UK.

The aircraft - nicknamed "baby shark" by some - will support HM Coastguard operations from this weekend, patrolling skies over north Wales.

The trial follows three months of testing at the coastguard helicopter rescue base at Caernarfon in Gwynedd.
