Does anyone know anything about the 'Star Over London' airship that is about to start operations out of Damyns Hall?
I saw a little bit in the Evening Standard so had a look at their website. According to their FAQ, there are going to be 5-8 flights a day on 3 different routes until 21st August. The airship will essentially route south of EGLC then west along the Thames. The FAQ says that the airship will be flying at approx 300m (1000ft).
Here's the longest route, which goes as far west as the Houses of Parliament and the London Eye:
Star Over London - LE COURAGE
How is this going to effect heli operations in the London zone? I imagine that we will have to maintain 3nm radar separation at all times - could be bit of a pain if it strays too close to Battersea.
Is it going to be like a slow-moving (30kts cruise) exclusion zone?
Have you any idea, AlanM?
