While on vacation in the UK I "was allowed" by my girlfriend to take my Phantom 2 Vision+ with me. :lol:
And today I was in the opportunity to fly around Stonehenge. We are on a camping site just 3 miles away and around closing time I drove up to Stonehenge to see if I could fly there.
Since the land that Stonehenge is on is National Heritage, the fines for illegal entry can be high, so I boldly walked up to the security guards and asked them if I was allowed to fly a round around Stonehenge. After a very friendly debate, they allowed me to fly if:
- I myself would stay outside the zone the visitors normally have to pay for. So that meant being in the field next to the sheep on the other side of the road.
- Wait for all public to leave
- Stay at really clear distance from the Stones.
Of course I was okay with that and so I went and flew. Shot an 8min video that will take forever to upload on the campsite wifi, but I already uploaded a sample which is part of the last minute of the flight.
