As part of the Vodafone XBlades Team, Year 12 drone racer Harry took part in a successful Guinness World Record attempt for the fastest tilt-rotor radio controlled aircraft sponsored by Vodafone. Harry also worked on the Vodafone stand throughout the Goodwood Festival of Speed, running micro drone lessons for the public and organising daily competitions. He is now off to Europe for the next five weeks as the Race Engineer for NexXBlades, for the DR1 Drone Champion Series, racing in France, Croatia, Slovenia and Germany. Good luck, Harry!
