The final video from last week’s Grey Arrows Drone Club Blackpool Easter Meet-Up, and the iconic Blackpool Tower and Promenade - a scenic flight including landmarks captured in the Golden Hour…

Brilliant - loved it! Never seen Blackpool so empty though, guess it must be about 5 in the morning?? Thx for sharing.

I was out in the evening of Easter Monday to capture sunset & Ferris Wheel on central pier. I was approached by a group of about 1/2 doz young men in their mid 20’s (ish), wanted me to fly my drone in front of them at around shoulder height & take a portrait. Very suspicious I thought so I replied I couldn’t as it would be unsafe and they grumbled & wandered off? They weren’t bothered about receiving a copy of the picture, I suspect they were trying to trap me into flying in what could be considered dangerously whilst someone out of sight videoed it to post on YouTube or some such. So I advise anyone filming on Blackpool seafront to be wary. (Btw a second group of different individuals did the same). Why for god’s sake. Never fealt threatened as they were reasonably polite, just raised my suspicions.
