Well, I bit the bullet and went for my CAA PfCO - Permission for Commercial Operations.
If you’re wondering what it involves, take a look. I make my views fairly clear 
@PingSpike, did you mention Grey Arrows forumites get a discount on UAV8? If so, I’ll amend the link…

Perfect. Link to that post now updated on the video description.
Cheers, Ian
Good information and video, thanks, Ian.
Thanks for a very informative post Ian, has changed my opinion of whether I want to do the PfCO !.
My brain retention is not as good these days, I fear that it may fry my grey matter, with all the input of data over a short period of time.
I will sit on the fence a bit longer to see what happens later this year.
Well, the chaps at UAV8 were very thorough and stressed they wooudl work with anyone who seemed to be struggling.
Let’s see what happens this year though; maybe they’ll bring in a relevant, interesting and appropriately aimed course and test on two levels; one for hobbyists and a more in-depth but still relevant one for commercial operators, all at a reasonable price.
(Looks for flying pigs emoji…)

I quite fancied doing it but I decided against because of the cost. Also, at 62yrs, I felt that I was unlikely to be able to make a decent enough business out of it, especially in view of the restrictions that the CAA seem to have in the pipeline.
I will probably just end up either as another one of the outlaws or just sell up and play with something else in my spare time.
Haha! What a load of old crocks we are @chrisjohnbaker and @paul.wingfield 
I’m the oldest of the lot at 67 but still having lots of fun!
You still have some catching up to do, then. 
something like this?
