The world’s first course which trains pilots to fly drones so far out of visual sight they may even be in other countries has been set up in the UK.
The course is so specialised the training is done by former RAF and Royal Navy fighter pilots – along with ex-Army Air Corps helicopter pilots and Civil Aviation Authority examiners - who work for top drone training company Flyby Technology (www.bvlosdronetraining.com) and is recognised as a game-changer for how drones will be used in the future worldwide.

This is the text of the one that interested me.
The drone operator reports that he was flying his drone at Beaulieu aerodrome (with the radio control flying club) when a red and white helicopter passed overhead the airfield at low level. His drone was hovering at 26m above the ground when he became aware of the helicopter travelling directly towards him at speed and only 2-3 times the height of his aircraft, and well below 500ft. Upon spotting the helicopter he descended his drone as fast as possible (4m/s). Shortly afterwards the helicopter banked hard to the starboard, but still came almost overhead and within 200-300m of the drone.
The AW189 pilot reports that he was flying at 500ft and was conducting a NVG route recce to check for obstructions along the route. The intended route was over the disused Beaulieu aerodrome in the New Forest. The weather was CAVOK. The drone in question was not seen.

He is still a free man and it looks like we can hack his Garmin ankle bracelet to track him. We can also disrupt his overseers with Ligado Networks. What a time to be alive! No doubt all sorts of other nonsense.
