Nant-y-Gro Dam Buster trials (remains) - Added to Historic Buildings in Powys, Wales

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

Land owner permission not required.

This small dam in mid Wales played a part in the Dam Busters operation. In July 1942 a prototype charge was proof-tested at this dam in the Elan Valley, where 280lbs of high-explosive destroyed the central portion of the masonry dam. The experiment was a complete success. The evocative and sobering remains of the bombed dam may still be seen today.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 17/02/2025. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
