Thanks, Chris, post his channel? It’s not up to much, just walking (usually) around his local area with his phone and not much interest here, really.
Local police might be interested and the CNC too (especially as it went undetected on their own land). Meantime I’ll keep an eye on the channel and decide if anything crops up.

Ah fair enough. If the footage doesn’t exist online as yet then it probably would just be Intel for them at this stage. But considering their attitude I would say it’s worth doing.
Does anyone know how to contact a specific CNC?
Thanks, @milkmanchris , I thought that too!
Google certainly is your friend
Found a recent’ish Sizewell video

Nice try, but that’s nothing like the video I saw, they were much higher out to sea and have a view of the platform surface.

Thats still an iffy flight if I am honest.

They also have a twitter which might work for some slow time queries:

Thanks, Chris.
Update with the lads at Sizewell Power Station; Having messaged CNC Sizewell, they found the site on YT, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lxYPWkqgwc with a heavily edited version published now, see the link! Said video is completely land-based. CNC are looking into it at the moment. They are also looking into putting signs in the public car park, I’m not sure if the signs already mention drone flying.

@Crackerjack (Andy) I have forwarded the video you drew my attention to for CNC as well as the original, thank you for that.
CNC have replied and thanked me for alerting them. They are (now) planning on extending the signs (which are only on the power station fence) to the car park and other public areas I presume they are looking into the perpetrators.

Good news, will hopefully mean they will be at least aware and hopefully signage will leave people in no doubt as to the legalities.

No harm came of the flight so I doubt they’ll be doing more than putting up the signs.

I am not sure that’s how breaking the law works.
Unlike home office forces the CnC are tasked with one thing and that is the safety of Civilian Nuclear installations and transport. While no harm came of the flight it will likely be something they will take very seriously.
Will we ever know? I’d expect the first thing they’ll ask is to take down the video, I’ll watch out for that.

I’d think it’d encourage other drone users to have a closer look at the platforms off-shore and possibly the power station itself who may have noted the complete lack of any security.
