Newbie in Leeds

Introductions

Hi all,
Am a newbie to drones, having flown many model aircraft alot of years ago, drones fascinated me, bought a cheap one from amazon that ended up in a pile of bits on the floor at my feet! Undeterred i did some more research and bought the DJI Mini 4 pro. I have my flyer ID but, even though its under 250g, do i need an operator ID too?
I’ve had a couple of flights whilst up in Northumberland on holiday, with owners permission, just looking for advice for flyable areas within Leeds and local area.
TIA

Hi @Anubis paul welcome to the club I hope you enjoy :blush:

For sub 250g drones, an Operator ID is required for those equipped with cameras. The Operator ID is a registration number that must be displayed on the drone.
