Matt,
I raised this because I was taken aback by the AAIB seemingly circumventing the CAAs rules. However helpful and no matter how profession the operators are they are not flying for recreation.
As a aeronautical engineering technician I find the credibility of the AAIB called into question by those actions.
Which is a shame as the actual use of drones is a useful tool to have in aircraft accident investigation.
-
John,
the document linked is effectively reproduced in the Air Accidents Investigation Branch Annual Safety Review 2016, which includes the original statement regarding recreational use. Should the AAIB not adopt the police model for drone use?
-
My point is that it is not by any means recreational- whilst I agree that any means of assisting the AAIB is a good thing.
As the AAIB is a government organisation, the operators are being paid for their services, and as the end product is a government report then whilst the gain is not financial there certainly is commercial gain

Noticed this little snippet in the Air Accidents Investigation Branch Annual Safety Review 2016
"Under UK regulations, the AAIB is not classed as a commercial operator flying for reward so can operate drones at accident sites under the standard regulations for recreational users."
Whilst this seems to be within the spirit of the law, is this within the spirit of the law.

Tom, more likely that having received several major head impacts resulted in loss of memory. The report indicate the pilots helmet probably prevented fatal head injuries.

Matty find yourself a copy of Captain Lockheed and the Starfighters LP, a whole album on the above joke

David,
Just for the record you have incorrectly spelt my name too.

I'm thinking of the Shuttleworth Sea Hurricane scheme (might not add a hook though) Hmm then again
-
I would buy one too and would also pay a deposit if required

Mostly Passive ECM on a Chinook, more likely Military IFF or RAD Alt.

Matt,
Its not the RAF who are divesting themselves of airfields its the DIO. And to be fair to the Station Commanders they will listen to reason and it helps if events that benefit the local economy.

Yes the buildings are included in the site. Mind you they are a bit shabby. I would say that some ground work will be needed to provide a good surface for model flying. There are also a couple of good pubs and a nice tea room close by.

When that mouse steps out of that cockpit I'll give him "Wot 4"

Err English Electric Canberra PR9 XH134 (G-OMHD) is for sale, last flew 2014 and is serviceable subject to an annual inspection. VTTS seem to want to find a job for themselves with the public picking up the bill.

Hmm Converted to a JU88C4 and I think I might be waiting for this one.

In his tribute to the lost astronauts Ronald Ragan quoted from High Flight by John Gillespie Magee. Magee is buried in the war graves nr RAF Digby 400yds from where I live.

John,
there are Hunters still flying Hawker Hunter Aviation at Scampton are still flying
"The HHA fleet of aircraft, which is used for various Aerial Support activities on behalf of the Defence Community, is operated on the UK Military register. The Military Type Airworthiness Authority has not imposed any restrictions on the normal operation of military registered Hunter Mk58 aircraft, which are exempt from the CAA temporary grounding order affecting civil registered Hunter aircraft."

Well my choices are:
Airspeed Oxford II
Hawker Fury
Miles Magister

The VOC always seemed to me to be about themselves - I for one am not sad to see the end of this venture (although its always sad to see any aircraft type grounded) Perhaps now there will be more money donated to some of the historic aircraft that have slipped under the "radar" but played as important role in defending this country over the last century.

AAIB Operation Of Drones

If they had an exemption then surely they would have stated that in their report. In our litigious society how would an insurance company perceive the use of the drone. I would suspect their opening gambit would be "so were you using the craft for recreational purposes "
