No hassle re NFZ, advisory about the park according to our own excellent Dronescene map
I had a quick play on the Litchi mission planner and you can orbit close in with no more than 200m separation from you and the aircraft so VLOS won’t be a problem. On the seaward side you can drop down with noproblems for shots - a nice latesun would be great here so an evening flight for the golden glow of the stonework - I’m getting excited now - if I travel up from Hampshire to take on this mission have you a spare room …

You may of hit the nail on the head there!
If the recent poll is anything to go by Bad weather sitting at home not being able to fly = lots of ‘grumpy old men’ 
P.S I’m 60 and more than capable of being a grumpy old man at times ask my good lady 
Ditto.

Brian, it was windy here today so I went virtual and flew a Broughty Ferry Castle mission for you:

Although in the virtual world I can set my own codes - I was flying around Gatwick yesterday 
Even at full speed it takes a couple of minutes to fly the length of the runway!

I sent this very helpful photo to the director of Gatwick airport and the police (well I thought it was helpful).

Speaking of atrocious weather, I have spent most of the morning tending to my wife’s grave in the lashing rain and wind, it was dreadful out there, but as it’s the only day I have left before back to work, then it has to be done…
The neighbours think I’m digging the foundations for a patio…

Your a wicked man Brian 
I’d like to say 1st that I’m a hobbyist Not PfCO etc
When I look at footage such as this my1st thought is I wonder if they had permission to do that? Maybe and I don’t profess to know the rules above 400ft (not sure sometimes I know them below) but Maybe the footage was commissioned by the Airline or the local Tourist board and the appropriate permissions Where in place
I try not to judge these things it’s not my job to do so We all know the police at times keep an eye out for Social media ‘stuff’ there’s no reason in my mind if this was a big concern to the CAA of the local country they too would have no issues following up on it
Yeah but outside the NFZ
As a side issue I’ve flown upstairs on an Emirates A380 (as a passenger, not flying my drone, as they make you check them in the hold) , amazing bit of machinery.
