Hi Steve

Welcome! Just come back from Tamworth today! Nandos followed by jaunt round the castle. Sat in the park adjacent and flew until the missus come back from the shops! Landed my mini 3 Pro and was just putting it away when an AA helicopter flew straight overhead and landed in the field next to Ventura Park.

Sorry about the quality of the photos, straight from my dodgy phone!

Hi Steve, I’m Darren and also live in Tamworth. I did a Permission for Commercial Operation (PfCO) course in 2018 and revalidated every year since with a view to earning extra cash. However, a busy full-time job meant I never had the time to do any commercial work and now I have retired. I still fly a Mavic Pro 1 which I purchased for the course and see no need to upgrade. Where do you fly from in Tamworth.

I’m sure Steve won’t mind me posting his Youtube channel, which may answer that question:
