Purfleet Heritage & Military Centre - Added to English Heritage in East of England

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

Land owner permission requirements unknown.

Purfleet on Thames Essex, has some stunning views across the Thames towards London Canary Wharf & towards tilbury docks, when I attended it was very very windy but still lots of people out, public walking dogs, family walks & taking in the views with a stroll along the embankment, was quite busy given the weather was not great, can imagine it being much nicer in the better weather, spoke to a few people whilst I was there, all seemed very fascinated by the drone & was very friendly, if Iā€™m ever in this area again I would like to go back, did not stay long due to the windy weather & the drone bouncing around in the wind like mad, being a 795 gram drone I can only imagine today a sub 250g drone would have been mayhem, so if you decide to visit with a smaller drone do check the weather first, I went specifically to photograph the 26 soldiers silhouettes but there is a military museum there at this location as in the title, easy parking & lots of open space, a very nice little place in all, do be mindful of public if & when flying as Iā€™m sure it does get busier,
