Is there anywhere is Staffordshire you can fly your drone? Somewhere with a focal point? I feel there is nowhere left that doesn’t say No Drones !

I see from your bio you have a Mini 2, fly that pretty much anywhere. Where in Staffs have you tried?

Fly over whatever you like as long as you’re outside the landowners land that says ‘no drones’ they don’t own the airspace. As long as you can also keep within visual line of sight as well of course! You don’t need to be right next to somewhere to take stunning aerial photos. Sometimes the more distant ones I find more pleasing on the eyes.

I used to live behind the Cottage of Content in Chasetown, now I’m just down the road in Bloxwich. If you want to come over Walsall Arboretum for a fly, send a PM and we’ll sort something out.
