I claim 5 points, please.
The picture is of the Paisley cenotaph, which is in the Glasgow airport FRZ (see below photo for evidence of permission)
The statue is in Wikipedia here
The statue has a horse.
I got that sick of waiting last time and hung up. Police arrived after i finished, i told them i had permission, that i tried ringing 101 and gave up, they said they werenât surprised i gave up.
They wonder why no one reports things any more. Then they say that crime is down by x percent. No it is not the crime tthat is going down but the reporting rate.
Had a police officer wander past me there just as I was coming in to land. Fortunately I had better situational awareness than him and stopped the descent and moved the drone - wouldâve been at about his head height right where he was walking if I hadnât. He was entirely oblivious
High-wind warnings almost as soon as I was in the air and, as you can see, raining today, so no chance of flying over the quarry. Just a quick up, shoot and down to dry off the drone.
The conveyor was working, and you can just about make out the line of âstuffâ falling from the ends of the two longer arms if youâve got the video full screen on a good monitor ⌠but the distance and quality of the video through the rain makes that one a speculative ask
We appreciate that conditions werenât ideal for approaching the conveyor but we have looked at the video several times now on large and high pixel count monitors and we agree that we cannot make out the conveyors working. So they certainly donât pass the âclearly visibleâ test
So we can only give you bonus points for the dump tucks and the stacked portakabins.
I did see a convoy of military vehicles on Saturday - sadly unable to fly a drone to get a pic ( though I did have one with me ) due to the crowds of people attending Lythamâs 1940s weekend

Thank you. You said you wanted pictures by a drone in flight, I do have ones that are a bit lower but wasnât sure if they looked like they had been taken by a drone in flight
Itâs just very refreshing to see a picture where the subject is, as required, clearly visible without being taken by a DJI Osmo or an Olympus compact camera as @DroneGeek - Ian - is referring to
