Best Bando I’ve flown!

Need food and sleep and no more safety briefing!

Home sweet home at last. Now to take at least 3 showers to wash off all this sweat! :sweat_smile:

Awesome day. Well done and thanks, @bmsleight , and great to see/meet everyone else!

Nope. We made them drone spectators - like Nigel, which were no charge from E.H. We made lots of people like drone today.

Sorry I forgot the £1.20 I owe in change.

Great to meet everyone yesterday and great intros into FPV drones.

I was trying to catch these in flight without much success, here’s one of the few that were in focus.

Not great without the venue in the shot but these mostly ended up like these.

must try harder next time.

Thanks again

I quite like these, shoes modern and ancient together. I am hoping the drawing/painting people have the ruins and some apocalypsise drone s in the painting.

Thanks for a great day guys! Brilliant day flying and great to meet you all. My first GADC meet and I’ll definitely be attending again.

Still trawling through the hours of footage but I have some great footage of the ‘follow the leader’ runs through the ruins! I’ll try and post some footage this week and I’ll be sure to edit that crash reel as well…

Thanks again to @bmsleight for organising! Don’t worry about the £1.20 for me :slightly_smiling_face: Hopefully the start of a good relationship with EH.

@OzoneVibe How many meets are needed to earn the badges? Still learning all the features of this forum!

Got a email from EH:-

How did it go last weekend?
I checked with the team who advised that the gate you sent an image of shouldn’t have been locked? Hopefully you managed to gain access okay?

I plan to reply with a nice email.

  • About draw Farnham and other ‘drone spectators’ coming on to site after safety briefing.
  • Seeing if we can get another date for the Abbey
  • Exploring which other EH site can be used for drone filming. Like the Abbey - one or two are in the open with lots of country side around.

@Playtripper @Stomper Happy for me to share photos with EH ?

Absolutely, feel free to share any of mine

Sorted the badge, and added you to the list.

It’s a manual thing done by we admins, and I’d found enough names for the number of people in the photo … so overlooked your attendance.

Apologies.

And - that makes the total number of attendees to six people.

@bmsleight’s Bronze Facilitator Badge has been upgraded to a Silver Facilitator Badge!

:clap: :clap:

… and the list updated accordingly.

Fine by me too.

Ah I see, thanks for sorting that @OzoneVibe, nice that @bmsleight gets upgraded too!

I have just finished putting together this slow fpv tour of the site, shot on my cinewhoop. I still have a lot more footage from the day so there will be more to come when I have the time to edit something together. I’m also happy for anything to be shared with EH.
