Fundraiser launched for pet rescue drone

An Island man is hoping to raise enough money to buy a drone to help search for missing pets.

Aaron O'Reilly says the idea would be to make the aircraft available for free to anyone who needs help finding their furry friends after a series of high-profile searches.

He says he's set up a charity called SkySearch IOM and hopes to recruit volunteers to pilot the machine and act as ground support for it.

Aaron has now launched a GoFundMe page to raise the £2,200 needed - you can find out more and donate here.
