Historic Environment Scotland

Good luck arguing that with the police if HES call them and say you’re endangering an historic monument.

We have had this discussion here many times before, true. Generally it ends up splitting folk into three camps:

  1. I don’t care what the law says. I’ll fly my drone where I like when I like and nobody can tell me otherwise.

  2. Only the CAA can tell me where I can and can’t fly and heaven help anybody else who tries. I’ve printed out the email the CAA sent to Ian and this is a hill I’m prepared to die upon.

  3. Just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should. There are other factors involved than airspace classification and sometimes it’s better to just find somewhere else to fly. Oh, and let me quote Article 241 at you repeatedly.

We all know which camp we sit in and I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody change their minds. We are what we are.

Whenever I see this topic split this way I always think to myself that it’s a good job we don’t have a written constitution codifying our right to own automatic rifles. I reckon that would get messy in a hurry. :wink:
