    Just a quick one - its the start of the Fastnet Race on 6th August - there will be loads of helicopter activity .. avoid the Needles Channel if flying a UAV!

    Hi - Any have experience of flying on or near Salisbury Plain in the UK. Checked on NATS Drone Assist and it appears that it is OK - but the MOD Police say that drone flying is not allowed? Any views?
