Hello all my name is Ian from Reading & quite new to drone photography so any advice I can get will be appreciated, although I do a lot of regular photography. I do spend a lot of time in Europe and lucky enough to go to some pretty amazing place’s so if anyone has any advice on flying drones in Europe that would also be appreciated. Many thanks in advance

Hi @Yarnie and welcome to Grey Arrows :wave:t2:

Looking for affordable Drone Public Liability Insurance that covers you throughout the UK and Europe?

Unlike other insurance providers, Grey Arrows Drone Club only charges £9 per year for £5,000,000 of Public Liability cover, making us the most affordable drone insurance provider in the UK.

Our £5,000,000 Public Liability Insurance is available exclusively to our Gold Members. Find out more here:

Looking for recommendations of places to fly? Check out our interactive map on Drone Scene and please feel free to add locations of your own too :smiley:

Wondering whether you can fly a particular model of drone under particular circumstances? Check out Good 2 Go where you’ll soon find the answer :blush:

Have you seen our Members Map? You may find some members living near you.

Feel free to add yourself to the members map too!

Flying a drone is great fun but sometimes you feel the need to have a purpose for doing so and the Challenges category provides some great reasons for you to fly.

There are regular challenges which are open to all, that attract members of all abilities. Support, advice and constructive criticism is freely available; still photography, video and the techniques for editing both are involved in the challenges. Suggestions, for subjects or for complete challenges, are always welcome - take a look in the Challenges category for more information.

We’re a well established club with many knowledgeable members so it’s very likely that any issues you come across will have been discussed here before. Our discussion forum has very powerful search features which should help you find what you need but if you get stuck you can post a new question in the Questions & Answers category.

Our Bronze Members are able to enjoy a lot of great services for free but our Silver and Gold Members are eligible for a whole lot more! Read all the details about our Membership Benefits?

And finally, if you are new to drones and wondering what it’s all about, have a look at Resources for a beginner.

Welcome once again!

Hi @Yarnie, welcome to the funhouse.

The only advice I can offer about flying in Europe is that your CAA Operator ID is not valid over there, and so you must display your EASA Operator ID on your drone, but thankfully wherever in Europe you register it’s valid in all 31 member states so just the one number rather than multiple.

It certainly is. You won’t find any tolls here (well, some may smell as bad), and we all want to help.
