It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a drone - oh hang on, it’s a flying fox
A pilot who thought his plane was hit by a drone while landing at Parafield Airport in South Australia has discovered it was actually a flying fox.
After sending off DNA samples from the damaged wing of his plane, it turns out the culprit was actually a grey-headed flying fox, similar to those that have plagued Botanic Park.
