Plenty of red “cars” in that “car park”.

[Drumsagard]

Great story and well worth the points for putting in the effort!

[Challenges_Committee]

No problem with business car parks.

But cars not vans

If I hadn’t of managed that video I posted earlier … that was my plan too

5. A Dronie/Selfie

• Bonus point for a Monument being in the background
• Bonus point if holding a Happy Birthday Grey Arrows Poster
• Bonus point for adding to Drone Scene

Chattri War Memorial - Added to Monuments in South East

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene: [image] Land owner permission not required. Parking at: ///hails.punt.wedge Be prepared for a long walk to the site. The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 10/09/2021. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.

Would have done a dronie but was way too windy.

Wasn’t expecting such a trek in work atire and with a chest infection

Happy to add a better quality image later if required.

Viaduct or Aqueduct

Here is my entry for the above category. The Welland Viaduct spans the Welland Valley between the villages of Seaton (in Rutland) and Harringworth (in Northamptonshire). Slightly more than 12 arches (82 in total) so a bonus point for that please. An extra bonus point for posting on Drone Scene at this link : Where can I fly my drone in the UK? - Welland Viaduct - Bridges in East Midlands
Sadly no trains around.

Don’t take it the wrong way, but that squatting position just made me expect to see “spare some change?” on the poster

[Challenges_Committee]

Thanks Chris. It’s an interesting memorial and one we hadn’t encountered before.

Chattri, Brighton

Full points - and look after your chest!

[Challenges_Committee]

That dronie is perfectly acceptable @ResilienceUAV 4 points added

[Challenges_Committee]

Nice photo @Rutlandboy but unfortunately we can’t give you the point for adding to DroneScene as yours is the 3rd pin added at that location. It appears 2 others beat you to it. Your entry is still valid though so 2 points added

[ResilienceUAV]

Yep it’s certainly an interesting one. Didn’t think it would be so far from civilisation

Thank you chest is getting there getting the steps in with this competition…

Also happy to post the original poster for GADC to keep let me know where to send it haha.

At least one of the Challenges Committee is lined up (for real) in this photo - outside the church waiting for the soup kitchen to open
