Positively Helpful ATC in Bournemouth

[Soledamcer]

I called Hurn (Bournemouth) Airport ATC to discuss taking some aerial photos within a warning zone. I was surprised how very helpful and positive they were towards me. Permission given, with just a few sensible questions. I was worried they might have a downer on UAVs, but definitely not the case.

Nice to hear this, given all the nonsense at Gatwick a few months ago...

Always good to be positively surprised. Now I miss Bournemouth, used to go there many times in the summer with my grandparents, not quite so easy of a trip now (expat in the USA).

Probably too busy and over populated to enjoy as much now. Hold your memories.

That's exactly why I thought it worth posting.

I Phoned them. I don't have radio comms. They said they welcome calls, they have standard procedures in place.
