Oh dear! Forestry Commission Scotland out of bounds?

You missed out “The CAA”.

Woohoo! Well done Dave! You played a blinder. There’s a job waiting for you at the United Nations. What excellent negotiating skills. Drinks are on me if you ever come up this way!
I shall go out this afternoon and fly my drone into a tree!

@Davester70

They have updated their website accordingly:

Looks like we’ve come to a sensible outcome.

Fantastic job @Davester70 mate!!

Nice one, you ought to be proud - nice one

[Davester70]

Thanks Callum - and thanks for the badge

[Davester70]

Thanks Rich - I’ll be proud until someone accidentally crashes a Mavic in to a FCS 4x4, making it swerve in to a huge logpile, which then rolls down a hill and crushes a WRVS picnic group…then of course it’ll be alllllll my fault

Well done Dave, always good to get one back at authority (speaking as gamekeeper turned poacher) I think you should change your name to “Drone Warrior”.

[Ronidog]

Thats great news. Thanks for putting the effort in

Well in that case, the “someone” didn’t do their risk assessment properly did they? Anybody could see that one coming.

Wonder when they will ban SLR cameras with long lenses intruding on privacy. At least you can hear a drone when it takes a photo. An SLR with a long lens.no chance.

Very nice, now that’s something I haven’t seen before .
