As part of ongoing searches being carried out by Lochaber Mountain Rescue a request was made for assistance from the Lake District Drone Team. The drone team is a collection of qualified pilots from individual teams within LDSAMRA who can search as a regional team. As such Patterdale was able to send a drone, pilot and vehicle to assist with the ongoing search. Despite it being winter there was a short weather window on the Saturday which would provide the visibility and low wind speeds to facilitate the flights to take place.
