" Solar Impulse lands in Hawaii."
It is an impressive achievement to have done that.

Solar Impulse lands in Hawaii.
And no Roger Harrabin article: "New era for air transport".
Yet.

re:BBC
It's difficult in light of the facts to view it as anything but a bloated dysfunctional bureaucracy with all the attendant chronic problems that are consequent from that.
Some beeboids might see the reduction in viewers and worry - but even more simply aren't interested - how else would/could you explain the monstrous vanity, monumental hubris, slovenliness and towering self regard - all suffused with right-on prosthletising that 'pon occasion simply beggars belief?
At the rate they're going - the funeral is going to precede the centenary - and that ... on balance, imho - is something of a just reward.
Too big to fail? - we'll see.

Would you want to fly in a plane that required a clear sky every morning..? :-)

"I suspect the BBC is genuinely shocked to discover that people are no longer consuming its output."
I'm sure you're right. It's on record that few BBC execs watch TV - presumably their heady round of power breakfasts, management meetings and champagne schmoozing leaves them little family, let alone sofa time, or they'd know how effing awful their own product was. Glad they're getting the wake-up call, although probably too late. If they ever watched it, I don't suppose any of them realised that 'W1A' was intended as satire...

"currently flying around in circles"
Probably in search of lift, or maybe something has stuck...

They claim to have detector vans! :-)

here is the weather station I assume, and I can't see any wind. It looks like it generally drops overnight until the morning. If you want to do it for TV reasons why not just say so.

The ability to have a drone permanently airborne and relocatable must havesme uses, for comms maybe.
