Is the centre of Manchester completely a no fly zone? I have seen drone footage from within the city, maybe I’m being a bit naive but can you get in there to fly at all?

Depends if you mean the centre of Manchester geographically on a map, or if you mean Manchester city centre.
Is that a screen shot of Strangeways prison @stegib ?

If you look at the detail on that I think you’ll find it applies only to helicopters.

According to DroneScene, that restriction only applies to helicopters
“ Remarks
The Restricted Area applies only to helicopters. Flight permitted by any helicopter operated by or on behalf of a police force for any area of the United Kingdom. Contact: CAA Airspace Regulation Operations, Tel: 01293-983880”

Apparently it’s all changing next year with a 400m exclusion zone around prisons and young offenders institutions for drones .
