One can take photographs from an aircraft as a private operation, the conditions for that is set out in CAR 1988 2 (7)(d)(iv) "aerial photography where no remuneration is received by the pilot or the owner of the aircraft or by any person or organisation on whose behalf the photography is conducted".
swh, are you really trying to tell me that Joe/Jane Citizen can take a bunch of mates for a private flight, and if some passenger, unknowningly to the pilot, has a camera and takes a photo with which they (the passenger) subsequently manages to purloin for some dosh, the pilot is guilty of an offense? Who was being protected when, if indeed it is the case, this piece of idiocy escaped parliament.
