Hi all

Look for an open field somewhere close.

Looks like you haven't got any NFZs near you.

I Spoke to my local council and said I can't fly in parks ( open space )

That's a shame. I used to fly at Wanstead Flats. A friend of mine said that a park ranger came and spoke with him, advised him that drones weren't allowed there. Loads of people fly there. Hope they get an allocated space there like Richmond Park, the field is big enough.

I know wanstead has a flying strip for RCs

Really? Hmm. Have you got any info on it?

I've heard of people flying RC planes there.

I googled it after seeing your post. Those timings they have for flying, are they just for members?

Hi have you had any issues flying in that park? I live in Barking and looking for somewhere local. Was going to fly out in Weald Country Park in Brentwood otherwise.

Its easier to beg forgiveness than ask for permission. Just find a quiet area of the park and take off. Once your 50m up, no one will even know. A pal of mine does this regularly in Bristol and he’s never been bothered once. People go by, look up into the sky to see what he’s looking at. When they can’t see anything, they just think he’s a nutter and wander off!
Shouldn’t do it when it’s busy though, that’s just reckless.

I’m in the U.K. Make sure you have the UAV app for weather and wind speeds (it varies at height) and the NATS app to see any flying restrictions, hazards NFZs near where you are flying.

What about Southend pier? Or Clacton pier. Beautiful coast. Watch out for the locals though

 

[HomeyJay]

Lol, yes, they’re a warring tribe, easily roused, eager to chase and prone to violence

Hi our Lifeguard Club us only a couple of miles from Southend Pier on the Thames Estuary by the beach and drone pilots would be most welcome to visit our club house and use the facilities and fly from here on Sundays when we meet, we would very much like to learn more about this activity,

If you are interested in coming to see us and to fly your drone just e mail me at;

[email protected]

We hope to hear from you and see you soon.

Best wishes;

Tony.

You can fly at two tree island near Southend been going their for over 2 years no problem

 

[Chalkwelllifeguards]

That is very true scouse but there is growing concern about the existance of a model plane and helecopter club at that location as it is directly in line with and directly under the flight path decent approach for very low flying aircraft descending into Southend Airport, it would appear that there could be some changes in the pipeline for two tree island by all accounts.

Best wishes,

Havering council allow you to fly in Bedford’s park. Their bylaws say no take off or landing, but this apples to petrol engines. Barking & Dagen have a no drone policy in all their parks
