New Conventrian in the Air - well nearly

Hi Folks, I bought my drone a couple of weeks ago so I could capture some rural cycling adventures, but find myself becoming somewhat obsessed with flying, even though I’ve hardly done any yet! I’m not far from the middle of Coventry and have no clue were this journey will take me. I’d like to do some video work and photography, it’s inspiring to see the pictures published. I look forward to being part of the community and have already benefitted from support from @BudgieUK a shout-out and thanks to him.
Also to make my day I’ve had my first flight plans approved by Coventry airport - I’ve fathered my first NOTAM! I’m so proud!


Anyway, all the best and great flying.

Welcome to Grey Arrows Nick, looking forwards to seeing your footage / pics :slight_smile:

I’m glad you got it sorted.
Suddenly, the Memorial Park will be getting busy with drones!

I might even pop over for an evening flight …. I’m normally flying in the mornings,

so it will be a pleasant change for me :slight_smile:
