I thought his forum was non-political? Obviously not, so I'll chuck in my twopennyworth. GOD SAVE THE KING

Lee on Solent is now called Solent airport. It's a busy airfield, particularly at weekends, for small aircraft. ATC are most helpful. I needed to fly in their FRZ for a job. I contacted them and was told exactly what I needed to do to get permission to fly. They emailed me the form, which I...

OP appears to be in France, so FAA regs are totally irrelevant! EASA regs state 120m above ground level, so the dangling bit of string analogy seems good.

Not as spectacular as some of the viaducts, but it's all we've got in this part of the world! Royal Scot was coming through yesterday and so decided to take my M2P for a flight. Only problem is the viaduct is in the FRZ for both RNAY Fleetlands and Lee on Solent airport. I contacted ATC both and...

Greetings Alex, Agree about the fast planning - see my reply to Scro above. Like you, I don't like to appear in my videos. I did Photoshop myself out from the stills. Don't know how to edit myself from videos! The land is private property, owned by Winchester College and leased to a local...

Constructive criticism always welcome, thanks. I fully accept what you say about the fast panning, that’s why the blur is there, I felt seasick looking at it! I will try your suggestions re-the faster fly-bys on my next escapade. No problems with passers-by, whether that was the high viz vest or...

I've been cycling past this little gem for many years. I now have a Mavic 2 pro and decided it was about time I videoed it - the church not my bike ride! It dates from the 11th century and there was, I believe, a small village in mediaeval times. The village has now gone. The website details...

I got a hay fever attack just looking at that? But nice vid!

Agree totally with Shroppie above. You could try dronescene.co.uk for places to fly near you. Also, check out droneassist app. That gives you all the restricted & hazardous places to fly. In addition, if you TOAL from public road or footpath/bridlepath there's nothing anyone can do to stop you...

No surprise there!

Thanks Dave. Will certainly try that next time.

Been after some decent strobes for my M2P for some time. Firehouse Ark V appear to get the best reviews, but they don't ship to the UK. However, I have now found a company that does. The company is, reship.com, and is, obviously, based in the USA - Portland, Oregon to be precise. You order your...

Try that -

Finally got the right weather, wind, tide and removal of lockdown restrictions to try a hyperlapse in Bosham harbour. Learnt a lot about hyperlapse and videoing in general. Also took some panos. They turned out better than the hyperlapse and the video . Tried to attach some photos, but kept...
