Good idea for a future challenge … first to take drone pics of all 4,147. 😉 Joking aside … wow, that’s a lot! Didn’t know there were that many. ---

I think it would make a great challenge and help out somebody who needs it. it would validate your flying as in people moaning why you are flying , you can tell them this if for serious archaeological purposes ---

It’s be good if they had a map of places they need photos and videos for, so people knew where to head 👍 ---

So many are either English Heritage or NT … there’s already a bit of an issue. I wonder if this scheme will negotiate blanket permissions to all Hillforts? 😉 ---

they have an interactive map on their website similar to our where to fly map. ---

I read that as “which of the 4,147 do they need photos” … because they must already have photos of 1 or 2 of these? 😉 ---

Interesting. I was flying over Maiden Castle just last week! I definitely have a few questions. Give them a poke Paul! I’d be interested in the kind of footage they are looking for. The stuff I pulled together doesn’t seem to fit nicely into their proforma from what I’ve seen - I aimed more for what’s good cinemagraphically, rather than ‘fly over North to South’. Also, that place is so massive you can’t get a plan view in a single shot - it’s huge! Apparently it’s the size of 50+ football pitches. I couldn’t get the whole thing in the camera’s field of view even from 120m up and 600m away. ---

It was my childhood playground. I lived in Dorchester in my teens. It’s huge! ---

20 miles south of Yeovil. Used to go to Yeovil swimming baths with the school … Dorchester didn’t have one. ---

Thought it sounded familiar. I had a contract at Augusta Westlands in Yeovil a few years ago. I had to mix with people who sounded like pirates ---
