Captain Drone

Happy New Year! Read about my prediction for 2019 that it's going to be a big year for drones… captaindrone.uk/2019/01/my-pre…

Ah, those heady days of summer this year, when the grass was scorched brown under the relentless sunshine we had in June and July... Hope these photos keep you warm over the Christmas period!

Hopefully if they're found they will face a long term of imprisonment, and those who were hoping to travel over the past couple of days will reach their destination without further delays. 2/3 #Gatwick #GatwickDrones

What a ridiculous situation at Gatwick! The only legally enforceable rules are that a drone cannot be flown above 400 ft and within 1 kilometre of an airport boundary. Geofencing built into all professional drones' firmware, but has evidently been deliberately overridden! 1/2

Read my blog looking back on one of the most poignant events of 2018 in West Dorset - the River of Poppies at Colmer's Hill... captaindrone.uk/2018/11/the-ri…

Appalling behaviour from an as yet unidentified drone operator, bringing misery to thousands of travellers last night as this morning. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

As the year draws to a close, I'm looking back fondly on 2018. Of particular enjoyment was this opportunity to film and photograph @TheMelplashShow, one of the busiest ever! Read more about it and watch the video on my website: captaindrone.uk/2018/08/the-me… #DorsetHour @Dorset_Hour

Good to see the use of drones being adopted by the New York Police Department. Over here in the UK, @DC_Police and @DorsetPolice set up the first dedicated drone units in 2016 to assist officers with investigations. cnet.com/news/nypd-powe…

@doug_chalk Thanks for the retweet Doug!

Today is the final day I'm running my £10 off roof inspections offer. Be sure to snap it up and book it in before the worst of the winter weather hits! captaindrone.uk/2018/10/specia…

Dorset is taking a battering from Storm Diana this morning. When the wind dies down, I can send my drone up and take photographs of any potential property maintenance issues, from £69. £10 off when you book today or tomorrow! See my website for more info: captaindrone.uk/2018/10/specia…

This week is your last chance to claim £10 off my drone roof inspections. Put your mind at ease before the worst of the winter storms hit... Contact me for more information or to make a booking. Valid for anyone in a DT postcode. Offer ends 30th November #DorsetHour @Dorset_Hour

Time is running out to claim £10 off drone roof inspections if you live in a DT postcode. I can help you identify missing or broken tiles, blocked gutters, chimney defects & more. It only takes an hour and I can fit an inspection around your working day. Contact me for more info.

If you haven't already done so, my longer video of the Colmer's Hill River of Poppies, set to the beautiful music of Sir Edward Elgar, is well worth a watch: youtu.be/AQSrePN9VUo #Bridport #Dorset #ArmisticeDay #ThankYou100 #ColmersHill #RiverofPoppies #drone #CaptainDrone

Capturing images and videos of this year's @TheMelplashShow was great fun, and it's lovely to see these images in their 2019 Calendar. Available now from @BridportTIC and the show office in Bridport.

My aerial footage of the River of Poppies on Colmer's Hill made it to BBC Spotlight's lunchtime bulletin. You can watch it here, or catch up with the BBC Spotlight news at 6:30pm tonight: bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

Despite challenging weather conditions, by mid-afternoon, the River of Poppies began to flow from the top of Colmer's Hill today. A fantastic effort from everyone involved - well done! @Symondsbury @Dorsetecho @thebridportnews @visit_dorset @Dorset_Hour @colmershill #ThankYou100

The team have faced gale force winds and torrential downpours today, but have made fantastic progress on the River of Poppies installation on Colmer's Hill. Video footage to follow soon!... @Symondsbury @PoppyLegion @Dorsetecho @thebridportnews #ThankYou100 #Bridport #ColmersHill
