Newbie from Norfolk

Hi all! My name’s Ken and I live in West Norfolk. I’m very new to drone flying having ummed and Ahmed for a number of years, never having taken the final step…

However………I was surprised with a drone for my recent 65th birthday by my father in law! It isn’t the droid - sorry - drone I was looking for, but never shunning a freebie, it will do me perfectly well until I learn to fly properly. I did a fair amount of research, got my operators and flyers id and have (bloody weather) had two short flights which I was happy with. Finding this place was also a part of my information gathering, so I’m glad to be here

Good to know! We (me and the CinC) often ride up to Browns café at Mundford when the weather’s good. Nice area.
