As I stated earlier, I suspect that the NHS is a soft target (what NHS "Director of Innovation" wouldn't want something for nothing and also a sexy drone trial on their CV?) and that this a foot in the door for future commercial operations. Is it just a coincidence that it's in an area with a relatively small GA community - but get the concept proved and where next?

If you do want to object, previous experience on the smaller scale trial on the Northumberland coast suggested that challenging the purpose of the trial got short shrift, so concentrating on the impact on the aviation community may have more effect
