Amazing there’s no NOTAM for this TV chopper pissing about at 250ft …
And the race doesn’t even start until tomorrow!
It continues …
Edit: Down to 75ft … ADS-B Exchange - track aircraft live
Just don’t fly over any crowds 
Piss take…
Area still clear, weather is looking good for flying. Been checking core paths and maintained public spaces in the area so plenty of TOAL spots. Only problem is my intended TOAL can be very busy with the local bucky brigade!!!

Almost glad the weather stopped me heading here. It’s still playing silly-billies at low level without having put out a NOTAM.
I wonder how the pro-drone fliers are handling its antics?
??
Buckfast and Mad Dog 20/20 drinkers. They use Woody Island to hide from their parents while they get trashed. Whilst I’m a grown man and can look after myself, I can’t fight more than a couple at a time, I’m getting old!!!.
No teenagers today though, the site has been taken over by some ( a lot of) travellers. I’m never one to tar all with the same brush, but I wasn’t leaving my work van unatended with thousands of pounds of tools in it, and then walking accoss their makeshift campsite with 5k of camera and drone equipment on my back. I shall find another way tomorrow, it’s just a longer walk and I’m a lazy bastard!

Thanks for the explanation and for the record i will tar all with the same brush, you did right not to show anything of value.
I have a vague recollection that it might be something to do with HMS Prince of Wales sailing past the area this morning?

Yes she’s currently at anchor off Rosyth… She seems to be dedicated to NATO ops these days, when actually functioning properly!

A recreational flight in a restricted area for drones. I take it this hobbyist is not very educated on such areas and the drone more than likely won’t even take off…
what makes you think that they haven’t sought permission? 
they are educated enough to submit a flight report.

I was always under the impression that recreational flights in this area particularly were highly likely to be refused.
If that’s the case they are accepted then I’m certainly going to give it a go having wanted to fly here before.
It’s always worth an ask. you’ll find most ATC are very accommodating. They are usually impressed that you actually asked permission.

Given the nature of the area I think is more of a security restriction and not an actual ATC one. Granted I have seen commercial drones submitting flight reports but didn’t think you’d get away with it on a recreational basis.
you won’t know if you don’t try… 
Yeah I’m gonna give it a try if other recreational drone users seem to be flying in it. 
Where is the submitted NOTAM on the above, i can’t seem to find it on dronescene
It’s not a NOTAM, it’s a Flight Report.
