Think I have passed all the paperwork tests.
I now have a nice invoice for £28.80 per person. (I’ll bring £1.20 in cash or something for my overcharge!).
Now for the further annoyance.
1 - Weather is our risk.
2 - Flight Plan (Extract)
Flight Plan:
0) Complete Safety Briefing for all Pilots
◦ Noting potential ingress of people to the Abbey
◦ Potential trip and slips around abbey area.
◦ Check flight radar for route of local air traffic
◦ Raise flight report
1) Pre-Flight Checks
◦ Ensure the drone is in good working condition.
◦ Check weather conditions for the day of the flight.
◦ Verify that the battery is charged for length of flight.
◦ Ensure all necessary permissions and notifications have been obtained and made.
2) Flight Area and Boundaries:
◦ Description of the flight area:
At and around Waverley Abbey.]
◦ Flight boundaries: Within 500 metres or lien of sight which every is further. Not above 120 metres
3) Safety Considerations:
◦ Maintain visual line of sight with the drone .
◦ Avoid flying over people and wildlife.
◦ Do not fly within 50 metres of uninvolved people or property.
◦ Ensure safe distances from airports, heliports, and other no-fly zones.
◦ Adhere to any local regulations and guidelines provided by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
4) Emergency Procedures:
◦ In case of a lost signal: use return to home function and manual retrieval using a audio and wireless signal finder
◦ In case of a low battery: Land the drone at a suitable surface
◦ In case of an accident: Notify authorities, provide first aid and retrieve equipment.

Wish me to add in the safety briefing, that they wish us to fly around the site ruins not inside.
Wish me to add in they do not grant permission for you to fly across the water and the house as these are not our property.
Note: I am sure everyone is familiar with Where can I fly my drone in the UK? - Good 2 Go - Can I fly my drone here?
Note: I am sure everyone is familiar with CAA and who control air space.

I will hold off paying the invoice until Monday.
Let me know any issues.
“Yes Brendan, I listened to everything you said during the safety briefing. I power-looped through the abbey and in/out of all those windows by accident! /cough /wink /wink /cough”

Message From English Heritage
Just wanted to wish you a successful event on Saturday and I hope you and the other fliers have a fab time at Waverley – it’s a gorgeous site so I am sure you will capture some amazing footage.
Thanks for being so organised and responsive also.

Top job Brendan
And fair play to EH for authorising this one
We’ll re-post some photos on our socials and tag them (and you all!) in.
Hoping to see a lot of ”I’ve flown here!” updates on this one soon:
