Great to see you got some flying in. I wanted to be there, but it was just too late in the day before the weather broke. Hopefulyl next Sunday.
Yup, I will post the thread for next Sunday in a min…
Thank you to @AlbionDrones and @dobby for organising this meeting today
It was a little wet and muddy but that didn’t deter us
It was great to see @Banjonic and @jcbdriver again and catch up (thanks for the stickers)
Met some new guys in @Darwinsdad, @Jeff1photo and @markas glad you came along and hopefully see you again soon
In all a great meet and Drone flying
Was hoping to go but after the rain on Saturday and Sunday i gave up ,i will check the thread to see where next meet will be ,im definitely free sunday weather permitting
Edited mine before work this morning, and set it to render… Its now uploading, will share as soon as its done… A good close flypast by a pigeon at 50 seconds in, proper blink and you will miss it - a closing speed of 97 to 137mph, depending on his speed!
One lucky pigeon
Glad I attended, made to feel most welcome and very enjoyable. As a ‘newbie flier’ there was a few things I wanted to gain from the day which I’m happy to say I achieved:
- Take my drone above 50 metres in height
- Fly without being judged
- Be brave enough to fly over water
- Try to get a pic of the sunken barges
Looking forward to the next meeting to concentrate on camera/stills.
ps - apparently I’ve got to write to Father Christmas and ask him for some of them little strobe lights!!
Great photos and lovely to meet you
Agreed, great pics and well done on capturing the barges… Never should be any judgement in the forum or at a meet, if there is just let the mods or the meet organisers know and they will take care of it… Grey Arrows is a non-Drone Police forum
I saw the pigeon great footage Suzanne.
Thanks Nic, it was moving fast - they fly at 50 to 60 mph noormally and can hit 90mph when they want! Closing speed between 97mph and 137mph!!
This was always a tricky one for me to get over in the early days too:
Something about water makes any type of crash or incident quite fatal for a drone

Great to meet you Dave
I love the reflections in the water, especially the one of your drone, well done and brilliant editing too.
Thanks Lyn, the drone reflection was a fluke, I pressed the C1 button instead of C2, and set the gimnall down, then noticed the reflection and recorded it
Fluke or not it was brilliant.
