Opportunity well taken. It goes to show that it’s always worth asking ATC - worst they can say is no!

I don’t know, I think the mist adds a lot. Very atmospheric shots. Nicely done :slight_smile: :+1:

I’ve flown twice within EMA FRZ. Always found ATC quite easy to deal with. They did limit the heights of my flights to 30m and 45m though. :wink:
