This is a video of Cunard’s Queen Anne embarking on her Maiden Voyage with a huge Fireworks Display as she leaves Southampton. I hope you enjoy!

I was going to when she arrived in port but there was just too much drone traffic around. I’ll capture her when the hype dies down.

It was busy, I counted about 11 drones in total. Everyone was respectful and gave plenty of room when and where possible. However there was one idiot just fly over the crowd with his new Avata 2 
and just being a dick. Then the police turned up, we were OK. hopefully they found the idiot.

Thought I might give it a go at Calshot on her arrival but the transmission just went mental! I wasn’t 100 feet up and about 50 meters out and my screen controller started to freeze so I returned straight away. I guess there was just too much signal interference from the plethora of vessels escorting her.

I was at Calshot two weeks ago and the same happened to me. Not going back anymore and they covered it with a SSSI for the whole area. However, today I see today they have removed it again. I’m in no rush to go back atm.

One of my favourite flying spots… Ignore the SSSI’s, it’s mainly to do with what’s growing around the salt marches and you wouldn’t be flying a drone from those locations.

Just out of interest, how did you get her going right to left with Southampton behind her 
That was Hythe, Totton and Fawley behind her, not Southampton.
Sorry, I thought the fireworks were in Southampton. If so, it makes her going going right to left i.e. North West !
