Hello everyone, I’m Simon, I’ve been flying drones for a few years. I tried a Hubsan Zeno that was ok but it had a bit of a nervous breakdown and was retired. Now enjoying my DJI Air 2S. I live in Rossendale Lancashire, surrounded by hills, reservoirs, and a lot of industrial heritage. I also frequent the Northumberland coast as my folks live up in Whitley Bay. If you’re really bored, I do put a bit on YouTube [My YouTube rubbish drone stuff](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLy6y81EGLqA8bjrjHpfEjr_8vxEF9Po5J) Generally, I am a lazy flier, and should get out more! I’m also interested in the legal aspects of ownership and flying; as an expolice officer, I am not the ‘fun police’, in actual fact I am more concerned by people being told they can’t fly when the law says yes they can. Anyway, I hope to enjoy this online community, and learn a few new skills along the way. Cheers! ---

Well I was feeling a bit bored so I did checkout your YT stuff and really enjoyed the St Mary’s bits - mainly because they’re local to me but I haven’t been brave enough to fly over the sea yet! ---
