Steven Curry Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (Official) On Saturday 9th July 2022 during one of our scheduled flypasts in Derbyshire, an illegally flown drone was found to be flying in close proximity of our Hurricane aircraft. Following court proceedings this afternoon, the drone pilot in question pleaded guilty to endangering the safety of historic aircraft. We would like to share this as a reminder to all drone users that there are strict rules and regulations surrounding the usage of drones, and severe consequences if pilots are found to break regulations.

MattyB Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) We had better hope this Mark Bagguley character is not a national association member or there will be implications for all of us… Edited January 9, 2023 by MattyB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Harris - Moderator Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 A little Googling would indicate that this individual is likely to be a keen amateur photographer so, although the hobbies are not exclusive, there’s certainly a reasonable hope that he isn’t a model flying enthusiast.
