Rig examinations are just one way in which drones are changing working life. Chris Eglington, a farmer from Norfolk, uses drones made in China that cost up to £15,000 each, to inspect plants such as oilseed rape for signs of disease or environmental damage. The bright yellow crop often grows 2m high. “Once it has got to a certain stage you can’t walk through it,” Mr Eglington says. “What you can see from a drone is marvellous.”
