Hi from Nottingham newbie

Introductions
1

My son convinced me to look at drones after retiring so here I am having now invested in this new hobby. Spent the last few years taking amateur photos but thought this would be a new challenge.

Having spent a while looking and researching things, this group struck me as brilliant and has some really useful information and helpful people. Hoping to learn a lot more and hopefully not crash the new drone!!! :grimacing:

I have some big Buzby stickers that were supposed to be stuck to the side on my yellow Post Office Telecommunications van!

It was a great advertising campaign:)
