Amazon drone forest: The secret site where internet retail giant is testing flying delivery robots

Amazon's multi-million-pound drone testing is secretly taking place behind a wall of haybales in the middle of the Cambridgeshire countryside. The Internet retail giant has built a high wall of hay bales to hide its secret drone testing area in a field around five miles east of its research and development centre. A blue control tower with aerials has also been spotted in the remote field, which is constantly patrolled by security men and vans. The firm aims to deliver packages to people's home using the flying robots and believe it is a more eco-friendly way of transport.
