The mobile crane, simply because there are so many bonus points to be lost (and I will lose most of them).
Closely followed by the Citroen H van. If there are any within 50 miles of me I don’t know how to find them.

This needs to be multiple choice, haha.
It will be interesting to see how far I fall down the leaderboard over the rest of the month.
I have everything, just don’t have the max points, so will be trying to do so, but also at the point if I’m honest where there’s only so many times I can be bothered to put the bird up in a car park hoping for the best (not happened yet) visit construction sites on a Saturday morning when not a lot is happening (I was lucky I’d booked 2 weeks annual leave during the competition, doing this was more fun than doing decorating but drone scene entries were my priority especially when you’ve got @Steviegeek on your patch! 
) and going to various Tennis courts and 4 of them never being in bloody use at the same time.
The Mobile Crane was easy as one was outside my office Window, haha, but it never was doing anything, and when I returned from AL it was gone! So didn’t even get it in movement!

Have to ask. Was this taken with a drone or another device?
If it was a drone could competitors have regard to safety and distance themselves from the railway lines. We don’t want our GADC members thr subject of the rail network’s equivalent of an Airprox report.

More staff shortages and working alone meant the receptionist came in to offer a hand…
Thank you Vera, hope that wrist is better soon.

Mavic Air 2.
It was being flown with safety in mind - the line is fairly close to the bridge. If you study the scene I am the other side of the fencing. The angle of the drone makes it look nearer than it is. Thanks for your comments and guidance.

That’s great Barrie and thanks for the info.
Not having a go at you but the video reminded us just to issue a general warning :):

Re: item 22
Construction Site
Bonus point if 4 or more colours of safety helmet visible
Bonus point if there’s a cement truck in shot
Bonus point if the Brand ‘READYMIX’ is in shot
Bonus point if there’s a mobile crane in shot
Bonus point if a crane is lifting a roof truss
We are surprised that no-one has researched this. Otherwise one of you would have told us that the RMC group, who were the company behind the UK ReadyMix concrete brand were taken over by the Mexican building materials company CEMEX in 2005.
We have changed the wording of item 22 to reflect this.
So get to it and start planning those construction site trips - there’s just three weeks to go!

Actually Readymix is a generic brand.
Many companies have readymix in their name.
We were looking for specific branding and most companies have Ready Mix (with the space) in their name
So CEMEX if you please for a bonus point - and a reminder about personal safety while the virus is still rampant

Gah, got a nagging feeling I’ve scouted sights with CEMEX branding already and didn’t send the bird up… 
And everything else was in place?
4 or more colours of safety helmet visible
a cement truck in shot
a mobile crane in shot
a crane is lifting a roof truss
You could have scored five of the six …
Chris, the subject of buildings being supported entirely by voluntary donations (including subsidy from local or national government) has arisen before and our ruling stands, unfortunately for you, To be considered commercial the mill must run either as a business that charges for a service or a product or charges a fixed admission fee.
So three points only for your windmill. 
Sadly not. I’m seeing the various elements in isolation, but never all in one place.
Genuinely considered following a cement truck I saw heading towards the A47 earlier on the off-chance it was headed to a building site…
Maybe we were building up to it?
