Royal Mail trials drones for Orkney deliveries

Chris Paxton, Head of Drone Trials at Royal Mail, discusses the prospect of using drones for postal deliveries. He emphasises that while drones won’t replace the essential role of postmen and postwomen, they can significantly assist postal workers in their tasks. Mr Paxton says the technology opens up possibilities for delivering mail to remote and hard-to-reach locations like Orkney Island, where ongoing drone trials are taking place.
