An aerial reconnaissance drone having a dragonfly format (elongate fuselage and flapping wings) with two cameras having respective diagonal fields of view, arranged at respective ends of the fuselage, both pointing forwards, wherein the second camera has a diagonal fielder of view that is at most half that of the first camera. This has the advantage of providing a drone that can capture enhanced imagery when required, by performing a half turn and switching which camera is being used. Since this avoids placing two cameras in the same location both can have a clear view of surroundings yet it helps avoid off balance caused by placing too much mass in any particular off-centre location.
