Hey up Tony and welcome

Quite a few of us in the area, and we have flown Doncaster many times (including DSA)

Sign up to @group-yorkshumber and keep an eye on the meet up section, we are usually out and about somewhere most weekends in the better weather.

Hi Tony,

Welcome to the forum.

As @milkmanchris mentioned we fly around this area frequently.

I live in Auckley too, a few mins from the airport so often get out to fly close by while we can.

Expect restrictions to start in the coming months as the airport starts to come back to life

Thanks Howard. I live in Blaxton and wanted to do a film of the area. Its quite confusing when some apps say it’s still a no fly zone. . Tony

Hi from sunny Blackpool.

You are fine right now as the airspace is still class G. Just check about you and follow the usual drone code guidance.

A good app to use is our very own @DroneScene

I’m in the area too, I have a few drones. I was one of the first to get photos of the Vulcan bomber by drone soon as it closed.
